a) Chlorine cylinders are to have single chlorine Teflon style valve produced by <br />Sherwood or Tekno which is equipped with afiisihle metal plug -type relief <br />device. This is a must comply safety requirement. <br />MENOTITAMOMPNIMM <br />a) Chlorine ton containers are to have two identical Teflon style valves produced by <br />Sherwood or Tekno near the center of one head. This isamust comply safely <br />requirement. When vertically aligned, the valve in the tipper position is used, far <br />gas withdrawal, and the lower one, for liquid withdrawal. The standard ton <br />container valve is identical to the c - vlinder valve except that it has no fusible <br />metal type relief(levice, and the valve seat diameter may be larger than on most <br />cylinder valves. There are tow sizes of ton container valves: 314 inch NGT and I <br />inch NGT <br />a) Outlet threads on c - Winder and ton containers are special straight threads <br />(1, 03 0 " - 14NGO-RH-EXT) which conform to connection number CGA 820 and <br />B20C which utilize a yoke -type connection. These threads are to accommodate <br />the outlet cap only and are not to be used, for chlorine hose connections. <br />MEDWAVO =- <br />a) The relief device on chlorine cylinders <br />Winders is a fusible metal plug in the cylinder <br />valve located below the valve seat. The fitsible metal is cast into an 'Alloy "B" or <br />Alloy "A" holder which is screwed into a tapped hole in the valve body. The <br />fiisible plugs are designed to melt between 158 degrees F and 165 degrees F. <br />a) Ton container valves contaitino.litsibleplugs. The container itself is equipped <br />with six threaded fusible plugs, three in each head, spaced approximately 120') <br />apart. <br />a) In addition to the required period retest, it is recommended that each ton <br />container and cylinder be internally and externally inspected prior to each <br />filling. This includes all appurtenances, such as valves and fusible plugs. <br />Criteria for such inspection is outlined in "Cylinder and Ton container <br />Procedure for Chlorine Packaging, " Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 17, Sections 3, <br />4, and 5. <br />
