Majestic Hydrotest & Fire Extinguisher - Calgary Cylinder Testing - CO2 - Breathing Air

---

Majestic Hydro Test & Fire Extinguisher Services Inc is a Transport Canada registered hydrostatic testing facility and cylinder requalifyer. Regular fire extinguisher hydrostatic testing is essential, as high-pressure cylinders must be requalified periodically in compliance with Transport Canada, UN, and CGA standards. Testing pressure vessels for the transport and storage of gases is crucial because they can catastrophically fail under pressure if damaged or defective. 

We offer hydro testing on TC, DOT, UN cylinders, refrigerant cylinders, gas transport modules (GTM's), and fire extinguishers. If you're searching for a reliable hydrotest fire extinguisher service or a hydrostatic test near me, our facility is equipped to meet your needs.

After the cylinder passes an internal and external visual inspection, it is filled with water and placed inside a test jacket filled with water. The applied internal pressure, typically 150% of the operating pressure, causes an expansion of the cylinder being tested. The total and permanent expansion that the cylinder undergoes is measured. These volumetric expansion measurements are crucial in determining if a pressure vessel, such as a fire extinguisher, is safe for continued use or has suffered degradation in its structural integrity and must be condemned. After hydrostatic testing, it is common for the cylinder to remain slightly larger than it was prior to testing; this is referred to as permanent expansion. We utilize advanced computer-controlled hydrostatic testing equipment capable of conducting fire extinguisher hydrostatic testing from 2500 to 9000 psi. Our large water jacket can accommodate cylinders up to 22 inches in diameter and 66 inches tall, making us a reliable option for anyone searching for a hydrotest near me.

Some pressure vessels, including fire extinguishers, refrigerant recovery cylinders, and gas transport modules (GTM's), can be re-qualified through a proof pressure test, commonly referred to as a modified hydrostatic test. This process involves subjecting the pressure vessel to a specified internal pressure and inspecting the container for leaks, bulges, or other defects. It's important to note that this hydrostatic test method is allowed only when the relevant regulations do not mandate volumetric expansion measurements for the container to successfully pass the hydrostatic test. If you're looking for fire extinguisher hydrostatic testing or a hydrotest fire extinguisher, our facilities are equipped with high and low pressure proof benches capable of testing pressures from 200-9000 psi. For those searching for a hydrotest near me, we provide reliable testing services to ensure your safety.
