Martin, I would like to see measurements of several brands from everywhere:-)As long as the core is white plastic and the Teflon tape white. In the US there are tape varieties that are colored to prevent the use of the normal Teflon tape on oxygen gas bottles, tubing etc, the last should be yellow. In the UK that marking is done with colored cores. But i expect that white rolls are available everywhere.
The "Dutch" brands I measured are Griffon and Gastec. 4 qualities. One of the Griffon qualities has the description: BS 7786: Grade L 12mmx12mx0.076mm Unitape (Gastec) Pressure or quality class 0.2 is another description 12mx0.1mmThere are Pro rolls of 19mm wide that may be more suitable for measurements but they are not available in every Home Depot, Praxis, Carrefour or a German equivalent of that.
I do not think there will be a difference between the measurements for the different qualities. One quality is for gas + water tubes, the other only for water.
