steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of bid
which does not use steel products or foundry products made in the United States, the City,
through its director of public works, shall make a determination if the price of United States
made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations hereunder may result
in forfeiture of contractual payments.
I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid
for public works are true and correct.

relief device, and the valve seat diameter may be larger than on most cylinder
valves. There are tow sizes of ton container valves: 314 inch NGT and 1 inch
NGT.
3. Valve Outlet Threads
a) Outlet threads on cylinder and ton containers are special straight threads
(1, 030" - 14NGO-RH-EX7) which conform to connection number CGA 820 and
B20C which utilize a yoke -type connection. These threads are to accommodate
the outlet cap only and are not to be used for chlorine hose connections.
E. PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES
1. Cylinders
a) The relief device on chlorine cylinders is a fusible metal plug in the cylinder
valve located below the valve seat. The fusible metal is cast into an 'Alloy "B" or
Alloy "A"holder which is screwed into a tapped hole in the valve body. The
fusible plugs are designed to melt between 158 degrees Fand 165 degrees F.
2. Ton Containers
a) Ton container valves contain no fusible plugs. The container itself is equipped
with six threaded fusible plugs, three in each head, spaced approximately 1200
apart.
3. Ton Container and Cylinder Inspection, Cleaning, and Reconditioning
a) In addition to the required period retest, it is recommended that each ton
container and cylinder be internally and externally inspected prior to each
filling. This includes all appurtenances, such as valves and fusible plugs.
Criteria far such inspection is outlined in "Cylinder and Ton container
Procedure for Chlorine Packaging, " Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 17, Sections 3,
4, and S.
F. PERIODIC RETESTING AND RE -INSPECTION
1. Cylinder and Ton Containers to be Tested
a) Cylinders (except DOT 3E 1800) and ton containers must be retested at least
once in five years (DOT Section 173.34e and Section 173.31 d).
b) Cylinders cannot be filled witil they are retested after the f ve year anniversary
of the month in which it was tested. Toncontainers can be filled until the end of
the calendar year during which their five year test is date.
c) Retests are also required after any reheat treatment. In addition, retest any
container which shows evidence of weakness at any time, or show a 5 percent or
more loss in weight.
2. Test Procedure
a) Cylinders and ton containers are hydrostatically retested by the hydrostatic
expansion. method [DOT Section 173.34 (a) and Section 173.31 (d)]. If at the
time of requalifrcation a container shows a leak or a permanent expansion which
exceeds 10% of the total expansion, it must be condemned.
3. Container Records
a) Records must be kept showing results of the test. Each container must have the
test date plainly and permanently stamped into the metal of'one head or the
chime of each task passing the hydrostatic retest.
