Maximum continuous use temperature for a material is typically derived
from a testing procedure developed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
The UL temperature index is reported for three different categories: elec-
trical, mechanical with impact, and mechanical without impact. The value
for each category represents the temperature at which specific properties
will decrease to 1/2 of their original values after 60,000 hours of exposure.
These guidelines should not be used as specific limits or used alone to de-
termine suitability for end use. It is impossible for Green Leaf, Inc® to
anticipate all factors that can influence the maximum and minimum con-
tinuous use temperature. Therefore, Green Leaf, Inc ® can make no guaran-
tee of results and can assume no liability in connection with the use of this
information. Confirmation of the validity of this information and the suit-
ability of our products for any specific end use should be attained indepen-
dently.
Minimum continuous use temperature for a material must be based on the
property requirements of the end use product. Properties such as: Tensile
Strength, Elongation at Break, and Yield Strength are published down to
-40°F in some cases.
We have taken the above information into consideration and developed
the following guidelines for use with Green Leaf, Inc® Proprietary fittings
(not including GatorLock ® Cam Lock Couplings and Valves):
