Cl₂ – Chlorine

General Information on Cl₂ – Chlorine

Chlorine (Cl₂) is a chemical element. Together with fluorine, bromine, iodine, astatine and tennessine it belongs to the group of halogens. Elemental chlorine is present in gaseous form under normal conditions in the form of the diatomic molecule Cl₂. It is one of the most reactive elements and reacts with almost all other elements and many compounds. The high reactivity also causes the toxicity of elemental chlorine.

Chlorine, obtained almost exclusively by electrolysis, is used for the synthesis of chlorine-containing compounds such as vinyl chloride, a starting product for the production of the thermoplastic PVC.

Gas Sensors for the Detection of Cl₂

RITTER »MultiGas« Combined Modules NDIR + NDUV

CO₂ CO N₂O CₙHₘ CH₄ CF₄ SF₆ H₂O O₃ SO₂ H₂S NO₂ NO

RITTER »MultiGas« Modules can also be a combination of both NDIR sensors and NDUV sensors on a common board. With this unit, up to 3 gas components can be measured simultaneously. The basic electronics can supply IR and UV radiation sources with different frequencies for 0 Hz (DC) to 100 Hz (AC). This system is an ideal tool for detecting multi-component gas at low ppm levels.

Please note: For technical and chemical reasons, not every combination of gases/measuring ranges can be analyzed/measured in a single or combined RITTER »MultiGas« module. As this is a rather complex topic, please do not hesitate to contact one of our gas experts first.
