Chlorine Ton Scales For Cylinders and Tanks

Most chlorine ton scales rely on coated carbon steel to “protect” against corrosion, but once the coating is scratched during cylinder loading, corrosion spreads unseen beneath the surface. This hidden damage compromises structural integrity and leads to premature failure. The A-TON Series eliminates this vulnerability entirely. The frame and load cells are built from stainless steel, providing inherent, permanent corrosion resistance. It’s not just “corrosion-resistant” — it’s effectively corrosion-proof, delivering a significantly lower total cost of ownership over time.

Industry-standard chlorine ton scales advertise ±0.25% to ±0.5% accuracy, but that margin can mask early leaks. For a 4,000 lb chlorine cylinder, a ±0.25% error equals ±10 lbs — meaning small, slow leaks may go undetected. With ±0.1% precision, the A-TON detects weight changes as small as 4 lbs at full capacity. That added sensitivity provides earlier leak detection, helping protect your personnel, facility, and community.

Single-load-cell designs transfer all weight through mechanical pivots and levers — components that wear down over time. As pivots degrade, accuracy drifts and maintenance needs increase.

• Higher accuracy over the life of the scale
• Greater shock resistance during heavy cylinder loading
• Lower long-term maintenance costs

Absolutely. The A-TON is built for Industry 4.0 compatibility. Standard outputs include 4-20mA analog, RS-232, RS-485, and USB, while optional upgrades add Modbus RTU/TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET support. For advanced facilities, our UpScale 7” Touchscreen Indicator unlocks AxChange Cloud Monitoring, providing remote visibility, automated alerts, and historical analytics from any device.

AxChange Cloud Monitoring turns your scale into a smart, connected device:

• Remote monitoring of live readings from any web-enabled device
• Automated text/email alerts for low-level thresholds or abnormal usage
• Historical usage analytics for optimizing chlorine inventory and forecasting
• Compliance-friendly logging with timestamped data stored securely in the cloud

Yes. For facilities handling chlorine or other hazardous gases in classified environments, the ArlynGuard T is a fully FM Approved, intrinsically safe version of the A-TON. It delivers:

• Identical ±0.1% accuracy
• Full stainless-steel construction
• Certifications for Class I, II, and III, Division 1 environments

This makes it the ideal solution for chemical plants, semiconductor fabs, and other high-specification environments.

By selling factory-direct, Arlyn eliminates distributor markups while investing more into premium materials and advanced technology. This model allows us to offer:

• Lower upfront costs compared to competing “yellow” and “green” scales
• Direct access to our engineers for support and service
• Faster delivery times with cost-efficient parcel shipping instead of expensive freight

Beyond its corrosion-proof construction, high precision, and connectivity, the A-TON was engineered to lower operational costs over its lifetime:

• No recurring repainting or recoating costs
• Minimal calibration drift and maintenance
• Early leak detection to avoid costly emergencies
• Cloud-based analytics to optimize chemical usage

Absolutely. The A-TON Series supports:

• Single or dual-platform configurations
• Custom platform sizes and load capacities
• Multi-scale setups with shared indicators
• Integration into hazardous or high-spec environments

Our engineering team can help tailor a solution that aligns perfectly with your process.
