Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a backup ring?

A back-up ring is designed to fill the extrusion gap in an O-ring gland during high-pressure applications. It prevents the O-ring from being forced—or 'extruded'—into the clearance gap between mating hardware components, which would cause premature seal failure and leakage.

What is the difference between a backup ring and an O-ring?

What are the different types of backup rings?

What is the function of the backup ring on a hydraulic jack?

What materials are DSC's PTFE back-up rings made from?

At what pressure should I use a back-up ring with my O-ring?

Can DSC supply custom-sized back-up rings for non-standard applications?
