Chlorine Ton Scales For Cylinders and Tanks
Starting at $3999
Arlyn Scales manufactures cylinder scales, gas cylinder scales, and tank scales that deliver accurate, safe, and reliable weighing for liquefied gases, chemicals, and storage containers. These scales are designed with low-profile platforms, stainless steel load cells, and rugged construction to handle demanding industrial environments.
From compact gas cylinders and pails to one-ton chlorine containers, Arlyn provides scales that improve safety, ensure compliance, and simplify monitoring. All models are engineered and built in the USA, backed by decades of experience and factory-direct support.
Why Cylinder and Tank Scales Matter
Monitoring the contents of pressurized or chemical storage containers is a critical task across many industries. Pressure readings are often misleading for liquefied gases, since tanks maintain maximum pressure until nearly empty. Weighing provides a direct and reliable measurement, ensuring accurate monitoring and safer handling.
Arlyn’s low-profile designs also reduce strain and injury risk when loading or unloading heavy cylinders. With stainless steel construction and optional explosion-proof configurations, these scales are built to withstand corrosive chemicals, hazardous areas, and harsh environmental conditions.
