FAQ

Most 4500 PSI cylinders, especially composite ones, require hydrostatic retesting every 3 to 5 years, depending on the specific DOT/TC exemption or specification under which they were manufactured.

If a cylinder fails the expansion test or visual inspection, it is condemned. It cannot be refilled or used again and must be rendered unusable (usually by drilling a hole in the shoulder) to ensure safety.

No, the retest service covers the inspection and hydrostatic testing only. The cylinder must be empty to perform the test. Refilling is a separate charge and service.

Hydrostatic testing verifies that the cylinder can still safely handle high pressures. It detects metal fatigue and structural flaws that are not visible to the naked eye, preventing catastrophic failures.

Yes, but the gas will need to be vented safely before testing can begin. It is often preferred to bring them in empty if possible, but we can handle the depressurization.

This specific SKU covers 4500 PSI cylinders, which are frequently carbon fiber or composite wrapped, but it applies to any cylinder rated for this pressure that requires testing.

The validity of the test depends on the cylinder type. Common intervals are 5 years for standard cylinders, though some composite cylinders have a 3-year or 5-year requirement and a maximum lifespan (e.g., 15 years).

Yes, the valve must be removed for the test. We visually inspect the valve threads and burst disc, but valve repair or replacement would be an additional service if needed.
