Galiso product pages featuring equipment for the hydrostatic testing of compressed gas cylinders. Fire hose tester electric. S c b a cylinders are normally tested using a water jacket test. A hydrostatic test involves pressurising the cylinder to its test pressure usually 5 3 or 3 2 of the working pressure and measuring its volume before and after the test.

Fire hose tester pneumatic. Nfpa 17 17a service equipment. Product catalog hydrostatic testing equipment replacement parts fire extinguisher filling equipment pressure gauges calibrated cylinders. The vessel is visually examined for defects and then placed in a container filled with water and in which the change in volume of the vessel can be measured by monitoring the water level.

The water jacket method of testing compressed gas cylinders is the only hydrostatic test method that qualifies cylinders for filling to 10 over service pressure. The procedures and requirements for plus stamping and star stamping are found in 49 cfr 173 302 c for plus stamping and 173 34 e 16 for the star. Giving you the support training and equipment you need in regards to hydrostatic testing of compressed gas cylinders. In conjunction with the hydrostatic test part 180 205 also specifies that a visual inspection be performed each time a cylinder goes through the pressure testing process.

A hydrostatic test consists of filling the cylinder with a nearly incompressible liquid in most cases water pressurizing the cylinder and examining it for leaks or permanent changes in shape.
