Fire Safety offers hydrostatic testing of cylinders for both commercial and residential customers in order to insure the safety of the cylinder to comply with Governmental / DOT requirements.
Hydro-testing is a means to test a steel cylinders ability to handle stress and pressure. If a cylinder has incurred damage that would weaken the metal shell or if the internal corrosion exists, the cylinder will flex under pressure and, in turn, will fail hydro-test. Hydro-testing will detect deficiencies within the cylinder that are not detectable by the human eye.
Cylinders that Fire Safety will hydro-test include:
- Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Fire Extinguishers.
- Carbon Dioxide Cylinders.
- SCBA Cylinders.
- Most all Industrial Gas Cylinders.
- Air pack Cylinders including:
- Aluminum / Steel / Composite Fiber Wrapped Cylinders as well as Paintball Cylinders including Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide.
- Paintball Cylinders including Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide.
