Footnotes for Fluid Compatibility Guides: 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 know 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. (1) Applications for these fluids 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 specific
requirement. (3) Does not imply NSF or FDA compliance.
