The VBU90336 is an AS568-336 black Viton® (FKM) 90 Shore A Back-Up Ring with an inside diameter of 2.85 in (72.39 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 3.27 in (83.06 mm). This back-up ring installs on the low-pressure side of an o-ring to prevent extrusion into the clearance gap at elevated pressure.
This material stands up to aggressive chemicals, chlorinated solvents, and many acids. Viton® (FKM) offers the industry benchmark where nitrile reaches its thermal limit and very low compression set at elevated temperature. The material carries a published service range of -15°F (-26.1°C) to 400°F (204.4°C). Verify compatibility before use with amines or ketones and esters.
Common environments for this compound include automotive fuel systems, chemical processing, and aerospace.
VBU90336 ships individually. Unit weight is approximately 3.3576 g and nominal inside diameter is listed as 2 7/8 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application. If you need a size, durometer or compound that is not listed, APG can cross-reference from a print, a sample or a competitor part number.
