Paste works its way into any imperfections where the fitting meets the
olive.

So presumably you think PTFE tape is some form of spring steel?

Ask your nurse to explain it to you over the cocoa.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

saying something like:

Me too. As an Agricultural mechanic, so working on compression fittings
on hydraulics etc for numerous years. It's not a new science for me,
just seems that the last batch of isolation valves I picked up seem to
have given no end of problems WRT leaking.

There's a load of cheap crap fittings on the market atm, and has been
for quite a while.

It's worthwhile paying just a little extra for good quality ones.

And causes all sorts of heartache to people who look after Gas
Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry kit. PTFE tape also often carries
silicones (why exactly this is needed on a non-stick material defeats me)
which also give ghost peaks. It is entirely possible to achieve a good
seal with compression fittings with no adjuncts. Even the best seals leak
to an extent. If you can beat the detection range of a sniffer detector it
is as good as it gets. The mass Spectrometer will still pick up air gases
N/O/H2O on a really well sealed system. The molecules actually migrate
against the flow. The septum is normally the major culprit. Do feel free
to come back when you have som understanding.

Indeed the makers say this and the better quality fittings and pipe can do
this. But vast experience if pipework has concluded that a smear of
jointing paste makes a good seal.

I think he's the most interesting troll I have ever come across - the
blind persistence that he actually knows something (anything), his
bizarre notion that everyone else uses at least 2 aliases and the
frequent bouts of poor poetry.

In fact, I'm inclined to think he is not really a person but is some
kind of bot? In fact, the more I think of it the more I'm sure. Good
try whoever programmed him, but he's failed this Turing test. I claim
my prize.

If he *is* a troll, he is a *wildly*, *hugely* successful
one. Look at all the traffic he generates! Look at all the
poor saps who reply/argue with him, thinking they will have
any effect at all! Of course, they have no effect whatsoever,
but that of fuelling the fire. I'd be very interested to
see what Doctor Drivel would do if everyone would just STFU,
but sadly there's as much chance of that happening as there
is of them sprouting a cnt and flying to the moon and back.
