1. Model Definition
BRT PEEK-RED refers to red BRT type PEEK backup ring, specially used for hydraulic and pneumatic high-pressure sealing, to prevent O-rings from being extruded into clearances.
BRT: Standard sealing industry model, representing split or solid backup ring for high-pressure support of O-rings and oil seals.
PEEK: Polyetheretherketone, high-performance special engineering plastic.
RED: Bright red color, specially customized for easy installation identification (same pure PEEK material as beige version, no impact on performance).
2. Core Characteristics
Temperature Resistance: Long-term working temperature -55℃ ~ 260℃, short-term up to over 300℃.
Pressure Resistance: Max working pressure up to 70MPa, far higher than conventional PTFE material.
Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oil, solvents, acid & alkali, hydrogen sulfide and steam (except concentrated sulfuric acid).
Mechanical Property: High rigidity, low creep, superior wear resistance and stable dimension.
Color: Bright red (pure PEEK customized color); black version is usually carbon fiber/graphite reinforced grade.
3. Specification Marking Example
Bore type: BRT80×70×2.5 PEEK-RED (OD80 × ID70 × Thickness 2.5mm)
Shaft type: BRT220×224×2 PEEK-RED (ID220 × OD224 × Thickness 2mm)
4. Application Range
High-pressure hydraulic cylinders, pumps, valves and motors
Oil & gas wellhead and downhole tools
Aerospace, construction machinery and high-pressure chemical equipment
5. Advantage vs Ordinary PTFE-BRT
Higher temperature resistance: 260℃ vs 200℃
Higher pressure resistance: 70MPa vs 35MPa
Longer service life: 3-5 times wear resistance
Better dimensional stability with low creep
Additional advantage: Red color for easy installation and model identification, avoiding confusion with other color backup rings.
6. Remarks
Abbreviation: Some manufacturers mark as PEEK-RED (no common short form for RED, consistent with original marking).
Custom service: Custom ID/OD/thickness available, tolerance ±0.05mm; color depth can be adjusted according to customer requirements (standard bright red by default).
