Multiple Choice

How should an operator store an empty chlorine cylinder? ____________, tagged as empty.

Store chlorine cylinders upright because the valve is at the top and needs to be protected. Keeping the cylinder vertical reduces stress on the valve stem, lowers the chance of leaks or damage to the valve, and helps keep any remaining liquid chlorine away from the valve area. Even when a cylinder is empty, it should still be kept upright, capped, clearly labeled as empty, and secured so it won’t tip. Storing horizontally, on the floor, or hanging increases the risk of valve damage or accidental release.
