Gas Cylinders
Testing Requirements
An air bank hydrostatic test is a safety procedure that evaluates the structural integrity of an air cylinder by filling it with water and pressurising it to determine its capacity to withstand pressure and detect leaks or deformation.
These tests are crucial for systems that store air under high pressure, like SCBA and SCUBA cylinders, to ensure safety and compliance with Australian Standards.
What Is A Hydro Test
- Pressurization:
Water is used to fill the cylinder and is then pressurized to a level higher than its design limit.
- Volume Measurement:
The cylinder’s volume is measured before and after the test to check for any permanent volumetric expansion, indicating structural weakness.
- Inspection:
A visual inspection for defects like corrosion, cracks, dents, and thread damage is performed before and after testing.
- Stamping:
Cylinders that pass the test, with expansion within the allowable limits and no visible defects, are stamped with a test date, signifying their safety for continued use.

Why is it Important to Hydro Test?
- Safety:
It prevents potential failures, such as explosions, that could occur from compromised or deformed air bank cylinders.
- Compliance:
Australian standards, AS2030 & AS2337, mandate these tests to ensure equipment reliability.
- Extended Lifespan:
Proper testing and regular servicing extend the useful life of air bank cylinders, ensuring they remain safe and functional for the required duration.
