Hydrostatic Testing

Hawkeye Fire & Safety is a D.O.T. Certified Hydro-test Facility

We can hydro-test low and high pressure cylinders with our hydrostatic testing equipment.

​

OSHA 1910.57(e)(4) states: “the employer shall assure that all stored pressure dry chemical fire extinguishers that require 12 year hydrostatic tests are emptied and subjected to applicable maintenance procedures…”

​

Periodic tests are mandated by NFPA and Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) requiring specialized test equipment to ensure the integrity of a cylinder at its listed operation pressure. Extinguishers are hydro-tested at intervals bases on NFPA 10 and high pressure cylinders are to be tested according to D.O.T. specs.

​

We can provide hydro-testing on the following equipment:

​

  • Hand Portable Fire Extinguishers

  • Clean Agent Cylinders

  • Fire Suppression Systems Tanks

  • SCBA Tanks

  • SCUBA Tanks

  • Oxygen Cylinders

  • High Pressure Cylinders
