Chlorine (symbol Cl) is a chemical element which can be found in the earth and the oceans. It is a greenish yellow gas at room temperature, and it is 2.5 times heavier than air. It turns to a liquid state at -34ºC (-29ºF), and it becomes a yellowish crystalline solid at -103ºC (-153ºF). Chlorine is highly chemically active and, as such, is typically found in nature bonded to other elements like sodium, potassium and magnesium.
Chlorine, dissolved in liquid, is one of the most effective and economical germ-killers for the treatment of water to make it potable or safe to drink. Chlorine’s powerful disinfectant qualities come from its ability to bond with and destroy the outer surfaces of bacteria and viruses. Drinking water chlorination is one of the most widely used methods to safeguard drinking water supplies. In addition to water disinfection, chlorine and its derivatives are used to treat sewage and industrial effluent, and as household and industrial bleaches to maintain and improve hygiene standards.

Chlorine is a chemical element beneficial for cleaning and sterilizing water. It is incredibly important that when this element is used it must be in safe doses which is why chlorine measurement equipment analyzes the chlorine ppm or ppb concentration in water.
A chlorine measuring device helps a multitude of industries such as safeguarding drinking water, treating sewage and industrial effluent, as household and industrial bleaches. IC Controls offers several chlorine measuring devices for total and free chlorine analysis, total residual chlorine, and combined chlorine.
- 7070iX Total Residual Chlorine Analyzer – used to measure effluent water. Read blog – Measure TRO for regulatory compliance. Learn how to verify the absence of chlorine and how to safely discharge effluent back into natural bodies of water.
- 875-25 Free Available Chlorine Analyzer – used to measure drinking water where you have steady, predictable pH
- 876-25 Total Free Chlorine Analyzer – used to measure drinking water where you have variable/unpredictable pH.
There are two methods of analyzing chlorine, through galvanic measurement or pH/ORP measurement. The benefits of using either method can be explored further here.
