ABS Backing Rings
The ABS Backing Ring is a mechanical support component used in conjunction with flanged joints in piping systems. Made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), these rings provide reinforcement to flange connections, ensuring even distribution of pressure and a secure, leak-proof seal. Commonly used with stub ends or flange adaptors, ABS backing rings are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for low-pressure, non-aggressive fluid systems in industrial and commercial environments.
Key Features of ABS Backing Rings
- Reinforces Flanged Joints
Provides structural strength and ensures proper compression of the gasket between flange faces. - Durable ABS Construction
Lightweight yet strong, offering excellent impact resistance and dimensional stability. - Corrosion Resistant
Performs well in environments exposed to moisture, water, and non-aggressive chemicals. - Non-Metallic and Non-Conductive
Safe for use in electrically sensitive or corrosive applications. - Smooth Surface Finish
Ensures even sealing pressure without damaging mating surfaces. - Easy to Handle and Install
Suitable for both horizontal and vertical pipe orientations.
