Cylinder Hydrostatic Test (Water Jacket Method)

Hydrostatic testing is the most common way to check a SCBA

cylinder for leaks or flaws. The test involves filling the SCBA

cylinder with a liquid, usually water, which maybe dyed to aid in

visual lead detection, and pressurization of SCBA cylinder to

specified test pressure. Using this test helps maintain safety

standards and durability of a SCBA over time.

  • World’s recognize testing equipment.
  • Widely used around the world (GALISO)
  • Visual inspection according to CGA Pamphlets-more than 12 defects need to inspect.
  • Has recorded data – Expansion, Test Pressure, Pass/Fail Percentage.
  • Digital gauge and digital weighing scale (more persice).
  • Has to calibrated the system before start the test (Calibrated Cylinder).
