Virgin PTFE Tubing Pressure-Temperture Derating

Virgin PTFE Tubing Pressure-Temperture Derating

(OP)
I am looking for a pressure-temperature chart for Virgin PTFE tubing.  Any one know where one is located on the web?  As an alternative does anyone know a published tensile strength for Virgin PTFE at elevated temperatures greater than 73F.  I am looking for tensile strength value for Virgin PTFE per ASTM D1457 at 175F (80C).

RE: Virgin PTFE Tubing Pressure-Temperture Derating

Everything I see suggests around a 30% reduction in pressure rating at 80C, but I do not know of a definitive source for this info.

Thanks GooyatEEE,

Do you have documentation or published data showing the reduction value?
