Ricko Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi, my bottle is long overdue for testing, I'm just using up the last bit of air in it before submitting it. I've had a quote of £45 for full 'Hydro' test. Is that about the right price?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Cost / price invariably depends on the type of test. For a diving cylinder a hydrostatic test is required every 5 years from date of manufacture and by the very nature of the test it is more expensive than the visual test which is required half way through these 5 year periods. If the cylinder is a Surface Use Only cylinder then only the 5 year test is required. If the cylinder has a pillar valve capable of supporting diving use then test stations must regard them as diving cylinders and explaining to them that it's only used for airguns or writing "surface use only" on the cylinder cuts no ice. One way of overcoming this issue is to replace the pillar valve with one used for surface use only. There is a cost but it saves the Visual Test costs. If people go down this route they should keep the original pillar valve in case they wish to sell on the cylinder at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
