NOTES:
1. Cylinders purchased after 1 October 1944 for the transportation of chlorine must contain no aperture other than
that provided in the neck of the cylinder for attachment of a valve equipped with an approved safety device.
Cylinders purchased after November 1, 1935 and charged with chlorine must not contain over 150 pounds of gas.
2. All parts of valve and safety devices in contact with contents of cylinders must be of a metal or other material,
suitably treated if necessary, which will not cause formation of any acetylides.
3. DOT-3HT cylinders are authorized for use in aircraft only for a maximum service life of 24 years. They must be
equipped with a frangible disc safety relief device, without fusible metal backing, and with a rated bursting pressure
