Our ASTM E410 Testing Procedure
Sample Collection
Liquid chlorine is collected in a calibrated flask under controlled conditions.
1Evaporation
The sample is allowed to vaporize completely, leaving residue behind.
2Moisture Capture
Moisture released is absorbed using desiccant tubes.
3Measurement & Calculation
Weight changes are measured to calculate moisture and residue content.

ASTM E410 Liquid Chlorine Moisture Residue FAQs
It measures moisture and non-volatile residue in liquid chlorine using gravimetric methods, providing accurate impurity levels that are essential for ensuring product quality, preventing corrosion, and maintaining safe industrial handling and processing conditions.
Moisture can cause corrosion, equipment failure, and instability in chlorine systems, so accurate measurement is essential to ensure safety, maintain product quality, and prevent operational issues in industrial and chemical applications.
Residue is measured by evaporating liquid chlorine and weighing the remaining non-volatile material in the container, which represents impurities that do not vaporize during the test process.
The method can detect moisture and residue at very low levels, typically around 10 ppm, making it suitable for high-purity chlorine analysis and quality control in industrial applications.
Chemical manufacturing, water treatment, and industrial processing industries use ASTM E410 to verify chlorine purity, ensure safe handling, and maintain compliance with quality standards in various applications.
