The specific finding a fluoropolymer-lined equipment page should lead with: across all six refrigerants in the Flowline chart, PVDF/PFA/PTFE all rate E while 316SS drops to F — the only family in the 552-row chart where stainless is the weakest listed wetted material against an otherwise benign-looking fluid. Same pattern, less severe, on creosote and tall oil. Moderate because no vendor page in the corpus names Freon service directly; the material conclusion is from the chart and the lined products above are the corpus's matching hardware.
