Instrumentation Tubing Products Compatibility Chart
Footnotes for Fluid Compatibility Guides:
The Fluid Compatibility Guides are simplifed rating tabulations based on immersion tests at 75° F. Higher temperatures tend
to reduce ratings.
Since fnal selection depends on pressure, fuid and ambient temperature and other factors not know to Parker Hannifn Co., no performance
guarantee is expressed or implied.
Ratings do not imply compliance with specialized codes such as FDA, NSF, AGA or UL and do not cover possible fuid discoloration, taste
or odor effects. For conveying foodstuffs use FDA sanctioned materials, and for potable water use NSF listed materials. For chemicals not listed, or for advice on particular
applications, please consult Product Engineering, Parfex Div., Ravenna, Ohio. (1) Applications for these fuids must take into account legal and insurance regulations. This
does not
imply AGA or UL compliance. (2) Chemical compatibility does not imply low permeation rates. Consult the Parker factory for a recommendation for your specifc
requirement. (3) Does not imply NSF or FDA compliance.

Ratings Code:
G
– Good to excellent. Little or no swelling, tensile or
surface changes. Preferred choice.
L
– Marginal or conditional. Noticeable effects but
not necessarily indicating lack of serviceability.
Further testing suggested for specifc application.
Very long-term effects such as stiffening or
potential for crazing should be evaluated.
P
– Poor or unsatisfactory. Not recommended
without extensive and realistic testing.
—
– Indicates that this was not tested.
