1.
The Fluid Compatibility Guides are simplified rating tabulations based
on immersion tests at 75°F. Higher temperatures tend to reduce ratings.
Since final selection depends on pressure, fluid and ambient temperature
and other factors not known to Parker Hannifin 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
fluid 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, Parflex Div., Ravenna, Ohio.
2.
Hose applications for these fluids must take into account legal and
insurance regulations. This does not imply AGA or UL compliance.
3.
Satisfactory at some concentrations and temperatures, unsatisfactory in
others.
4.
For high pressure gases, the cover should be pinpricked and the pressure
must not be released quickly. Chain or restrain the hose to prevent personal
injury in the event of damage or failure.
5.
Chemical compatibility does not imply low permeation rates. Consult the
Parker factory for a suggestion for your specific requirement.
6.
Does not imply NSF or FDA compliance.
7.
Chemical compatibility does not imply acceptability for use in airless paint
spray applications. These applications require a special conductive hose.
8.
Fluoropolymers are chemically compatible with Anhydrous Ammonia.
However,extreme caution must be used in dealing with Anhydrous Ammonia
since it can cause severe injuries such as blindness and/or chemical burns.
