ASTM E1120-16

Standard Specification for Liquid Chlorine

ABSTRACT
This specification covers industrial grade chlorine normally available as a liquid in pressurized metal containers. Liquid chlorine shall conform to the following requirements: gaseous impurities content, moisture content, and nonvolatile material content.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers industrial grade chlorine normally available as a liquid in pressurized metal containers.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 Review the current Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for detailed information concerning toxicity, first aid procedures, handling and safety precautions.  
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods listed in Sections 3 and 4. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
