Required Routine Hydrotest Regulations:
By Department of Transportation regulation, all compressed gas cylinders must be re-tested every 5 years. Each cylinder is stamped with a DOT number and last test date on the upper portion or "shoulder" of the cylinder. If the test date is followed by a five-pointed "star" then the cylinder needn't be tested for 10 years. Please call your local Central Welding Supply if you have questions or concerns.
Cylinders are defined by four main characteristics:
Gas form - Compressed gas, refrigerated liquid (carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide), dissolved gases (acetylene), or cryogenic liquids.
Gas type - Oxygen, nitrogen, argon, acetylene, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, helium, rare gases, specialty gases, nitrous oxide, chemical gases and liquids, medical gases.
Gas purity - Up to 99.9999%.
Cylinder - Size (volume) and pressure, varying from country to country.
Cylinders can be supplied individually or bundled together as 6 or 16 cylinder packs and emptied as a unit. Materials of construction include aluminum, steel, light alloy, composite materials, as well as special porous interior materials for acetylene.
Non-refillable Steel Cylinders
A convenient and cost-efficient way to handle calibration gas mixtures... these smaller-sized, lightweight cylinders require no deposit or monthly rental charge. They are easier to handle, less expensive to ship, and use very little space. They also eliminate over-purchasing when only small quantities are necessary.
These steel cylinders are recommended for non-reactive gas mixtures and pure gases such as argon, helium and nitrogen. They combine a convenient, portable size with a wide range of capacities (from 17 liters (0.6 cu ft.) to 550 liters (19.4 cu ft.)) to handle any field calibration requirement.
