What is Hydrostatic Testing and why is it important? Hydrostatic Testing is a nondestructive test procedure used to check
cylinders for leaks, structural flaws, durability, and corrosion. It is
used to check a cylinder s structural integrity. Testing consists of
enclosing a cylinder filled with water inside a test jacket filled with
water. Pressure is then applied internally to the cylinder, causing the
cylinder to expand. The total and permanent volumetric expansions of the
cylinder are determined by measuring the amount of water displaced by
the expansion of the cylinder when under pressure and after the pressure
has been released. An external and internal visual inspection of the
cylinder is also performed, along with a dead-ring test for steel
cylinders.
The Service Center performs in-house Hydrostatic Testing and Cylinder Repairs In addition to filling oxygen cylinders, The Service Center is proud
to offer in-house hydrostatic testing/requalification of cylinders and
cylinder repairs. This is unique to the industry since most cylinder
fillers currently outsource hydrostatic testing/requalification and
cylinder repairs to a third party. We have seen and heard of inherent
problems with this standard industry outsourcing approach for
hydrostatic testing and cylinder repairs.
