NOTES:
▀ = No limit to use of tubing under these conditions.
▲ = Tubing can only be used in a limited range of applications, with
that range partly depending on type of stress tubing is subjected to.
There are pronounced differences in usability depending on whether
exposure to the chemical is temporary or permanent and whether
tubing is completely immersed in the medium or has only partial
contact with it.
● = The tubing should not be used under these conditions.
