The lining of the pipe depends on the manufacturer and the specification
asked for. There are many makers of SS braided lines and you cannot apply a
blanket comment on all types. One of the reasons braided is thought well of
is because after 5 years the S.S. outer cover still hides the normally
visible cracks in the pipe.
A old friend who owns a company that makes braided pipes of all types for
aircraft suggests that on a car they should be changed every couple of years
because of the possibilities of hidden dangers. ( He doesn't on his cars
!!!)
Both Ed and Kees are right. Goodrich may well make a Teflon lined SS pipe
but they will also make a rubber one.
