The container itself is equipped <br />with six threaded fusible plugs, three in each head, spaced approximately 1200 <br />apart. <br />2. Ton Container Inspection, Cleaning, and Reconditioning <br />a) In addition to the required period retest, it is recommended that each ton <br />container be internally and externally inspected prior to each filling. This <br />includes all appurtenances, such as valves and fusible plugs. Criteria for such <br />inspection is outlined in "Cylinder and Ton container Procedure for Chlorine <br />Packaging," Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 17, Sections 3, 4, and 5. <br /> <br />F. PERIODIC RETESTING AND RE-INSPECTION <br />1. Ton Containers to be Tested <br />a) Ton containers must be retested at least once in five years (DOT Section 173.34e <br />and Section 173.31d). <br />b) Ton containers can be filled until the end of the calendar year during which their <br />five-year test is due. <br />c) Retests are also required after any reheat treatment. In addition, retest any <br />container which shows evidence of weakness at any time, or show a 5 percent or <br />more loss in weight. <br />2. Test Procedure <br />a) Ton containers are hydrostatically retested by the hydrostatic expansion method <br />[DOT Section 173.34 (a) and Section 173.31 (d)]. If at the time of <br />requalification a container shows a leak or a permanent expansion which <br />exceeds 10% of the total expansion, it must be condemned. <br />3. Container Records <br />a) Records must be kept showing results of the test. Each container must have the <br />test date plainly and permanently stamped into the metal of one head or the <br />chime of each task passing the hydrostatic retest. <br /> <br />G.
