Sherwood or Tekno which is equipped with a fusible metal plug -type relief
device. This is a must comply safety requirement
2. Ton Container Valves
a) Chlorine ton containers are to have two identical Teflon style valves produced by
Sherwood or Tdmo near the center of one head This is a must comply safety
requirement. When vertically aligned, the valve in the upper position is used for
gas 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 1
Inch NGT.
3. Valve Outlet Threads
a) Outlet threads on cylinder and ton containers are special straight threads
(1.0300 -14NGO-RM-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 F and 16S degrees F.
2. Ton Containers
a) Ton container valves contain no f usible plugs. The container itself is equipped
with six threaded fusible plugs, three in each head, spaced approximately 12V
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
fitling. This includes all appurtenances, such as valves and fusible plugs:
Criteriaforsuck inspection is outlined in -Cylinder ad Ton container
Procedtir+e for Chlorine Packaging;"Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 17, Sections 3,
4.and 5.
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 173.31d).
b) Cylinders cannot be filled unit they are retested gfker 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 theirfive year test Is due.
c) Retests are also required after any reheat treatment In addition, retest any
container which show evidence of weakness at any time, or show a 5 percent or
more lass in weight
2. Test Procedure
a) Cylinders and ton containers are hydrostatically retested by the hydrostatic
expansion method [DOTSection 173.34 (a) and Section 173.31(d)J. ,fat the
time of requalification 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.
