TaxiDriver Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Dive type places test them. I believe they ordinarily have a visual check every so often but not sure of the frequency (maybe yearly or two yearly?) Then every so often they have a hydraulic test as well, again might be two or three years in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 They can, and should be tested; but alloy cylinders usually fail faster than steel due to fatigue cracking. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
