Gasket materials

[NormandieStill]

For those who would like a reference for the usage of gasket materials other than PTFE, here's an interesting link (table at the bottom):

https://www.sofra-inox.fr/fr/content/17 ... de-raccord (in french)

"Huiles" = oils
"Hydrocarbures" = hydrocarbons (petrols)

The rest should be self-explanatory.

For those that don't want to follow the link... PTFE is the only option that meets the criteria. BUNA ( a form of synthetic rubber) comes close, but it's temperature range isn't wide enough.

Just thought it might be useful in settling the occasional "but I really want to use..."
