(It has a melting point of-150.7 degrees Fahrenheit and a boiling of -29.27 degrees Fahrenheit.)

Chlorine Melting point is 172 Kelvin (which is also its freezing point)

Chlorine's boiling point is 239 Kelvin (which is also its condensing point)

For reference, water freezes at 273 Kelvin and boils at 373 Kelvin.

This means that chlorine will remain a gas until quite cold temperature of about negative 34 degrees centigrade.

Those numbers above are valid under atmosphere pressure 14.7 PSI

As soon as pressure changes, especially when Cl2 is being transferred through piping, boiling point ( condensing point) will also go higher.

For example;

Cl2 is in gas form at 25 PSI if temperature is 24F (-4C , or 268K )

If you increase the pressure in your pipe up to 65 PSI for transferring to further points then CL2 gas condenses (liquiifies) in the pipe.

Reason is condensing temperature at 65 PSI is 54F (12C , or 285K)
