When changing a chlorine cylinder or container, when is it necessary to use a new gasket?

Using a new gasket every time a chlorine cylinder or container is changed is essential for ensuring a proper seal. Gaskets are critical components that help to prevent leaks of chlorine gas, which can be hazardous. When a cylinder is replaced, the old gasket may not provide an effective seal due to wear, deformation, or chemical degradation that can occur over time. A new gasket ensures that the connection between the chlorine container and the delivery system is tight and secure, significantly reducing the risk of leaks and potential safety hazards.

It’s important to observe safety protocols and manufacturer recommendations regarding the use of gaskets to maintain the integrity of the system and protect personnel and the environment from chlorine exposure. Regularly changing gaskets helps ensure compliance with safety standards and enhances operational reliability in water treatment processes.
