Although there are still some cylinders in use today that are designed to hold only 100 pounds of liquid chlorine, the standard cylinder is designed to hold a MAXIMUM of 150 pounds of liquid chlorine. At 72N F, 150 pounds of chlorine will occupy only 89% of the total volume of the cylinder.
The Chlor-Scale® Ton Container Scale from Force Flow provides an accurate and reliable way to monitor the amount of chlorine used in your disinfection process. ... Knowing the exact amount fed allows you to document that target disinfection levels have been consistently met.
What information do the scales identify in a gas chlorine system?
A chlorine scale can subtract the standard weight of a cylinder and precisely calculate how much gas it contains. You will know exactly how much gas is left and can control how much is used in the process. This also lets you detect a potential leak if you are losing gas unexpectedly.
How does chlorine affect pH in drinking water?
When chlorine gas (Cl2) is added to the water (H2O), it hydrolyzes rapidly to produce hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and the hypochlorous acid will then dissociate into hypochlorite ions (OCl-) and hydrogen ions (H+). Because hydrogen ions are produced, the water will become more acidic (the pH of the water will decrease).Jan 23, 2017
What is the weight of chlorine cylinder?
Full 150-pound cylinders will weigh approximately 235-290 pounds. Full ton containers will weigh approximately 3,300-3,650 pounds.
