p.t.f.e. means polytetrafluoroethylene. The most famous brand name for PTFE is Teflon.
If you use saturated steam, the main source of the heat is provided by the condensation of the steam at a constant temperature. The energy provided by the condensing steam is significantly more than what you can get from just changing the temperature of superheated steam. When the temperature remains constant, design calculations are also a lot easier; the temperatures stay the same (or almost the same) for the steam along the entire run and the pressure stays the same (or almost the same).
it is any type of piping that carries fluids or gases to effect processes on machinery or equipment
Yes, Teflon lubricant is typically based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is a high-performance plastic known for its non-stick properties and resistance to heat, chemicals, and friction. PTFE lubricants are often used to reduce friction between surfaces and provide long-lasting lubrication. They are commonly applied in various industries, including automotive and manufacturing, for their excellent performance in extreme conditions.
Teflon, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is manufactured through a process called polymerization. This involves the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) gas, typically using free-radical initiators to create long chains of PTFE. The process can occur in a suspension, emulsion, or solution, depending on the desired form of Teflon. Once produced, the PTFE can be molded, extruded, or processed into various products, such as non-stick coatings for cookware.

PTFE is not biodegradable. It can be degraded by pyrolysis or radiation.
Yes, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is a thermoplastic material.
PolytetrafluoroethyleneIn chemistry, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that finds numerous applications. PTFE is most well known by the DuPont brand name Teflon.PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid, as it is a high-molecular-weight compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine. PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water and water-containing substances are wet by PTFE, as fluorocarbons demonstrate mitigated London dispersion forces due to the high electronegativity of fluorine. PTFE has one of the lowest coefficients of friction against any solid.PTFE is used as a non-stick coating for pans and other cookware. It is very non-reactive, partly because of the strength of carbon-fluorine bonds, and so it is often used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals. Where used as a lubricant, PTFE reduces friction, wear, and energy consumption of machinery.

The melting point of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is around 327°C (620°F). At this temperature, PTFE transitions from a solid to a molten state.
PTFE and Teflon are essentially the same material; PTFE is the scientific name for Teflon. To test if a material is PTFE/Teflon, you can check if it is non-stick, heat-resistant, and has a smooth, slippery surface.
