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.
