Certification of Cylinders

When working with the use of technical gases, safety standards must be observed. One of them is a periodic check of the integrity and tightness of the cylinder. Depending on the material of manufacture, their examination and relevant tests are carried out with the following frequency:

carbon steel and metal composite materials – every 3 years;
alloy steel – every 5 years.
If any damage is detected on the surface of the cylinder, certification should be carried out immediately.

An attested cylinder is marked under the neck on a special plate, where, in addition to the manufacturer’s data and capacity parameters, the date of the last certification is indicated.
