shall not be covered by the housing.
8, Cylinder and Ton Container Capacity
a) In cases where the capacity of a chlorine container is not known, it can be
determined by weighing it empty and again when completely filled with water,
and by multiplying the weight of water at 60°Fby 1,25. This is the maximum
allowable weight of chlorine allowed in the cylinder or ton container.
C. STAMPING
Cylinder Stamping
a) When manufactured, cylinders are stamped with DOT specification number,
serial number, and owners and/or builders identifying symbols as well as
inspector's of cial mark and initial test date [DOT ,Section 173.34(c)] of 49CFR.
2. Ton Container Stamping

material, serial number, inspector's official mark, name, mark or initials of
company for whose use the tank is made, (or builder`s symbol and serial
number), date of test, and water capacity [DOT ,Section 179.300-18]. Tare
weights may be stamped by builder. Changes in stamping must be made in
compliance with DOT Section 173.31(d) or 49CFR.

a) Retested cylinders [DOT 49 CFR, Section 173.34 (e) (6)] and ton containers
(DOT 49 CFR, Section 173.31(a)(7)] must be stamped to show date of retest.
For cylinders, the stamp must include the test facility's certification number in a
prescribed pattern. Ton containers do not require the test facility's number on
the container.
4. Tare -Weight Stamping

withdrawal, and the lower one for liquid withdrawal. The standard ton container
valve is identical to the cylinder valve except that it has no fusible metal type
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 I inch
NGT.
3. Valve Outlet Threads
a) Outlet threads on cylinder and ton containers are special straight threads
(1,030" - 14NGO-RI- EXT) which conform to connection number CGA 820 and

container and cylinder be internally and externally inspected prior to each
filling. This includes all appurtenances, such as valves and fusible plugs.
Criteria for such inspection is outlined in "Cylinder and Ton container
Procedure for Chlorine Packaging, " Chlorine Institute Poinphlet 17, Sections 3,
4,and 5.
F. PERIODIC RETESTING AND RE -INSPECTION
1. Cylinder and Ton Containers to be Tested

once in f ve years (DOT Section 173.34e and Section 173.31d).
b) Cylinders cannot be filled until they are retested after the five year anniversary
of the month in which it was tested. Ton containers can be filled until the end of
the calendar year during which their five year test is due.
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 ]73.34 (a) and Section 173.31 (d)]. If at the
time of requaliftcation 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.

PRINCIPAL USES
CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is a high charge cationic polyacrylamide
that is used as a flocculant in a wide variety of municipal
wastewater treatment applications. It has been successfully applied
in all liquid/solids separation systems including clarification,
thickening, flotation, and dewatering.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Physical Form White Granular Powder
Cationicity 70 %
PREPARATION AND FEEDING
CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is water soluble, but certain
precautions should be followed to obtain total dissolution with
minimum loss of activity. Complete wetting of the individual
polymer particles is the single most important factor in the
preparation of powdered polymer solutions. One method to achieve
good wetting is to use an aspirator type disperser that draws the
solid polymer particles into the water stream using a vacuum
created by water pressure. A water pressure of" 30 psig or greater is
required to implement this method. The wetted polymer from the
aspirator should be discharged into a vessel equipped with a high speed
mixer capable of stirring the entire tank. The polymer solution should.
be stirred for 15-60 rninutcs or until dissolution is complete. The
suggested snake -down concentration for CLARIFLOC Cl: 1463 is
0.1 - 0.5 %n by weight. Completely automated equipment is
commercially available.
MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION
Cross -linked polyethylene, fiberglass, stainless steel or lined steel are
the preferred materials for dissolution tanks. Unlined mild steel, black
iron, galvanized steel, copper or brass should not be used in any part
of the feed system. Stainless steel or PVC are recommended for pump
heads and feed lines.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
Suggested in -plant storage of CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is one year
in unopened bags, Store in a cool, dry area. For spills of dry
CLARIFLOC CE-1463, sweep up the material and reuse, if
possible. Do not spray water on spilled dry product because the
resulting gel is very slippery and difficult to clean up. For spills
of CLARIFLOC CE-1463 solutions, sprinkle sawdust or
vermiculite over the spill area and sweep into approved chemical
disposal containers. Rock salt cuts slipperi-ness.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CLARIFLOC CE-1.463 can potentially irritate the skin, eyes and
lungs, so gloves, goggles and filter type respirator should be worn
while handling this product. CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is not readily
ignited, but it will support an existing fire. Foam, CO2 or dry chemical
methods should be used because polymer -water mixtures are very
slippery. Anyone responsible for the procurement, use or
disposal of CLARIFLOC SCE-1463 should familiarize
themselves with the appropriate safety and handling precautions
outlined in the POLYDYNT Material Safety Data Sheet. In the
event of an emergency with CLARIFLOC CE-1463, contact
Chemtrec anytime day or night at (800) 424-9300.
SHIPPING
CLARIFLOC CE-1463 is shipped in 55 pound bags and
supersacks. Bulk quantities are also available.
