APG stocks the VBU90357, an AS568-357 black Viton® (FKM) 90 Shore A Back-Up Ring measuring an inside diameter of 5.475 in (139.07 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 5.895 in (149.73 mm). A back-up ring allows a standard o-ring to operate at higher pressures than it could unsupported.
As a material, Viton® (FKM) is specified for outstanding high-temperature capability and very low compression set at elevated temperature. Expect good resistance to aggressive chemicals, petroleum oils and fuels, and many acids. Service temperature is rated from -15°F (-26.1°C) through 400°F (204.4°C). It is not the right choice where low-molecular-weight organic acids or amines are present.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across high-temperature process equipment, oil and gas, and semiconductor equipment.
