ABS Backing Rings Graphics

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.
