The Department of Transportation mandates regular recertification of gas cylinders, ensuring their safety under high pressure. Depending on the cylinder type, testing is required every 3, 5, or 10 years. At Smokey’s Fire Protection, located in Lancaster, PA, we utilize state-of-the-art hydrostatic testing equipment capable of testing cylinders up to 10,000 PSI, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Our hydrostatic testing process involves a meticulous examination. After passing a visual inspection, the cylinder undergoes water-filling and is placed into a water jacket. Pressure is built up to 5/3 of the working pressure, held for approximately 30 seconds, and then released. Precise measurements of water displacement before and after this process determine a pass or fail based on cylinder expansion.
