Gallagher Fluid Seals is excited to present our newest tech bulletins for our customers as a free download.

  1. Back-Up Ring MS28774 Sizing Guide
  2. Back-Up Ring MS27595 Sizing Guide

Back-Up Rings provide extrusion resistance, preventing o-ring and seal damage when subjected to high pressures, temperatures, and larger extrusion gaps.

PTFE back-up rings may be used with most elastomeric O-ring seals. For installation, PTFE back-up rings are supplied either scarf or spiral cut.

The guides, as seen below, follow either the MS28774 Scarf Cut dimensions or MS 27595 dimensions. They will show the dash number, Inner Diameter (ID), tolerances, and more.

These guides can be found by visiting ourtechnical bulletins page or downloading them below.
