scope:

This pamphlet is intended to provide manufacturers, packagers, and consumers of chlorine with practical information that can be used to improve safety and environmental performance by helping to prevent failures and minimize fugitive emissions from gasketed connections in dry and wet chlorine service. The pamphlet provides guidance for gasket material selection and gasket installation.

This pamphlet lists gaskets that have found user acceptance in chlorine service. Gaskets are added to the pamphlet only during routine pamphlet revisions. The Task Group charged with reviewing the pamphlet will decide whether to include additional gaskets based on experience and recommendations from member companies. Member companies utilizing new gaskets and sharing results will enable other members to become aware of gaskets that may provide improved service and reliability. This is consistent with the Institute's goal of continuous improvement.

The Chlorine Institute does not approve, rate, certify or endorse any gasket. The information on gaskets and gasket materials contained in this pamphlet reflects information obtained from member companies in their use and/or evaluation of the gasket or gasket material.
