Cylinder Testing
Our cylinder testing is carried out by independently trained IDEST technicians to standards defined by the HSE.
Having your cylinders regularly inspected and tested is a legal requirement and no reputable filling station will fill a cylinder that is outside its test dates.
Our prices are competitive and cheaper than many other service centres and our price includes an air fill.
We normally require two weeks to service cylinders. If you have an urgent need then please ask, if we can't meet your requested timescales then we will tell you.
When does your Cylinder need testing?
A cylinder used for diving must be visually inspected every 2.5 years and hydro-statically tested every 5 years. The cylinder should be additionally tested if it is dropped or damaged in any way.
A cylinder for surface use only e.g. air rifle filling only requires hydrostatic testing every 5 years.
Cylinders used for Enriched Air need O2 cleaning every 15 months.
It is also a legal requirement that cylinder valves be serviced at every inspection or test.
PLEASE NOTE to comply with HSE legislation, cylinders that fail inspections or tests will not be returned to the owner and will be destroyed.
