    Chlorine Service Ball Valves (CL)


    Flour Valve® ball valves for chlorine service are designed for use with chlorine, cleaned
    and assembled with required measures for a safe use in chlorine service equipment and
    avoid valve contamination to the media purity. Some of the designs comply with the
    Chlorine Institute Pamphlet 6: "Piping Systems for Dry Chlorine".

    Chlorine
    Chlorine is a hazardous and toxic material that irritates the respiratory, with a distinctive
    pungent odor. Chlorine, chemical element symbol Cl, is nonflammable in both gaseous and
    liquid states however; chlorine gas is a strong oxidizer, which may react with flammable
    materials, and can support combustion when combined with other substances.
    The Chlorine gas has an irritating odor that many people can detect with as little as 3.5ppm
    (parts per million) chlorine present. Breathing air containing more than1000 ppm of chlorine
    might be fatal.

    Chlorine density is 3.2 kg/m3 (1.013 bar at 0 °C), because it is heavier than air, it tends to
    accumulate at the bottom of poorly ventilated spaces. Chlorine boiling point -34.04 °C
    (-29.27 °F) at a pressure of 1 atmosphere, the liquid must be stored under high pressure or at
    low temperature. Chlorine melting point is -101.5 °C (-150.7 °F).

    Chlorine Uses
    Chlorine is mainly used in manufacturing chemicals; including solvents, pesticides and
    herbicides, plastics and fibers, refrigerants and propellants. It is also an ingredient in bleach,
    deodorizer and disinfectant. In addition, chlorine is widely used in bleaching pulp, paper and
    textiles; disinfecting drinking water and swimming pool purification; plus in sanitation of
    industrial and sewage wastes.

    ‘Chlorine’ term
    Gas and liquid refer to the physical state of chlorine itself; dry and wet refer to the content of
    moisture within the gas or liquid. Dry chlorine is either gaseous or liquid chlorine with less
    than 150 ppm of water by weight. Chlorine containing more than 150 ppm is considered as
    wet chlorine, gas or liquid.

    General
    Chlorine Service feature is available for part of Flour Valve’s valves series – check series ordering
    codes for availability. Available valve sizes, types and variety of end connections are per each
    relevant series ordering codes.

    Design
    Valves designed for chlorine in a liquid state should be equipped with an upstream pressure
    relief hole in the ball (Ordering code -P250). The relief hole avoids trapped cavities in the valve
    closed position and pressure buildup due to thermal expansion during liquid ammonia boil
    off. A valve with relief hole in the ball is uni-directional, the relief hole must be positioned at the
    upstream flow direction for complete in-line sealing. For Bi-directional valve design for liquid
    chlorine a Self-Relief Seats (Ordering code -SRS) should be used with seats material of TFM or
    CF PTFE, the SRS seat design dynamically release cavity pressure buildup and return to shutoff Self-Relieving-Seat
    position once the over pressure is relieved. Valves designed for chlorine in the gaseous state do (SRS)
    not require an upstream pressure relief hole.

    Valve Materials for dry chlorine


    Valves for dry Chlorine Systems are used with chlorine in gas or liquid state, usually at
    temperatures between -101 °C (-150 °F) and +149 °C (+300 °F). Steel piping is commonly used
    for handling dry chlorine, defined as containing no more than 150 PPM of water by weight.
    Stainless steels of types 3xx might fail due to chloride stress cracking, particularly in presence
    of moisture at ambient and elevated temperatures. Monel 400 and Alloy C22, or Alloy C276 are
    the recommended materials for ball and stem, with TFM or CF PTFE seats. Body and stem seals
    can be PTFE, CF PTFE or graphite for fire-safe valves.

    Note: For higher moisture levels up to 150 PPM, Alloy C22 is the recommended material of the upstream
    construction for all metal parts.

    Cleaning, Assembling and Packing


    All valve components used for chlorine service, in gaseous or liquid state, are de-burred to a
    high standard and specifically cleaned to remove any traces of oil, grease or hydrocarbon
    materials prior to assembly.

    Chlorine service valves are assembled in an oil-free restricted area by personnel who are
    specially equipped and trained to perform this task. The assembling area, work surfaces,
    equipment and tools are specially maintained to ensure cleanliness requirements are met.

    Only lubricants compatible with chlorine are used.


    • Valves are packed in open position with capped ends and plastic bagged
    • Each valve is packed with a 'Silica-gel pack'
    • A sticker on the plastic bag indicating“Chlorine Service”

    Optional Accessories
    Locking Device (LD)
    As a safety measure, it is advisable that valve for ammonia service should
    be equipped with spring loaded locking device do avoid unauthorized or
    unintentional valve operation.
