typically around $20-$30 depending on where you get it done, just ask around for the best price. also check the local fire station, a lot of times they know where to get it done cheap since they have to get tanks hydroed all the time
Scuba Cylinders must be tested VISUALLY (called a visual test !!) every 2.5 years.
They must have a HYDRAULIC test every 5 years (previously 4) (hydraulic is also known as hydrostatic testing)
Scuba tanks need to be visually inspected and need a hydrostatic test done every five years.
Every 5 years...
5 years for all cylinders.
In the area of $20-$40
A test pressure whcih is used to perform hydro test is known as hydro test pressure, besically the hydro test pressure is more then the design pressure of pipe, tank, pressure vessel ..................

It means to re-hydro test the tank. It must be done after the date on the bottle or you cant get it refilled.
hydro means water so hydro test means a water test. also hydro static means water static
"Hydro" is short for Hydrostatic Testing. After so many years (listed on each tank) a propellant tank must be retested for leaks and material strength. If it fails, it is condemned and cannot be refilled, if it passes, you may use it until the next test date, which will be engraved onto the bottle. Hydro testing can be done by either physically going to and ordering, or mailing your tank to the manufacturer.
What is the procedure for hydro-testing?
What is the procedure for hydro-testing?
they use 150% of the tanks rated pressure so for a 4500psi tank they test it at around 6700psi
Yes. Stop taking the hydro. THEN get tested.
the maker of the tank, the pressure that it should operate at...eg (WP 228BAR)then the test pressure that the cyl is tested at (TP 350BAR)and the capacity the cylinder would hold if filled with water eg 12 L 12 litres
