How much does a full one-ton chlorine cylinder weigh?

A full one-ton chlorine cylinder weighs 2,000 pounds, which is equivalent to one ton, and when considering the weight of the cylinder itself, it typically weighs around 3550 pounds when full. This weight accounts for the chlorine gas embedded within the cylinder along with the metal structure of the cylinder that houses the gas. The shipping weight is critical for handling and transport, ensuring compliance with safety regulations related to hazardous materials.

Options that suggest a weight of 3000, 4000, or 2500 pounds do not accurately reflect the combined weight of the chlorine and the cylinder itself when it is full. The precise measurement is important for various applications, especially in water distribution systems, where proper handling and transportation of chemicals are essential for safety and regulatory compliance.
