Consider both the normal operating conditions and possible temperature or pressure fluctuations. PTFE material has a broad service-temperature capability, but the allowable conditions of a threaded connection also depend on tape specification, fitting material, thread design, chemical medium, and system requirements. For demanding applications, selection should be based on the complete operating conditions rather than temperature or pressure alone.
