1. Hydrostatic Testing Machine

• Description: This machine tests the cylinder’s strength and durability by filling it with water and pressurizing it to a set limit. The cylinder’s expansion is measured to determine its integrity.
• Benefits:
  • Ensures the cylinder’s safety under high pressure.
  • Detects leaks, cracks, and other potential weaknesses.
  • Help certify the cylinder’s compliance with safety standards.

2. Ultrasonic Testing Equipment

• Description: Utilizes high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws or structural inconsistencies in the cylinder without damaging it.
• Benefits:
  • Provides accurate detection of cracks and imperfections.
  • Non-destructive testing (NDT), preserving cylinder integrity.
  • Offers a faster inspection process compared to traditional methods.

3. Burst Testing Machine

• Description: A machine that tests a cylinder’s maximum pressure capacity by assessing its strength under extreme conditions.
• Benefits:
  • Identifies the maximum pressure capacity.
  • Ensures safety by testing beyond regular operating pressure.
  • Helps determine design limits for new cylinder models.

4. Cylinder Drying Oven

• Description: An oven that dries cylinders after cleaning or hydrostatic testing, preventing moisture-related damage.
• Benefits:
  • Prevents internal rust and corrosion due to moisture.
  • Maintains cylinder longevity.
  • Ensures that cylinders are dry before filling with gas.

5. Valve Removal and Installation Tools

• Description: Specialized tools used to safely remove and install gas cylinder valves during repair or maintenance.
• Benefits:
  • Ensures safe handling of cylinder valves.
  • Minimizes damage to valve threads during maintenance.
  • Helps in preventing gas leaks from improper valve installation.

6. Internal and External Inspection Lights (Borescope)

• Description: A borescope is a visual inspection tool with a small camera or light that allows for detailed internal inspection of cylinders.
• Benefits:
  • Detects internal corrosion, pitting, or cracks.
  • Provides a clear visual of hard-to-reach areas inside the cylinder.
  • Enhances safety by identifying issues that might not be visible externally.

7. Leak Detection Equipment (Sniffer or Bubble Test)

• Description: Devices that detect gas leaks from cylinders, using methods like sniffer gas detectors or a soap bubble solution.
• Benefits:
  • Quickly identifies gas leaks from cracks or loose fittings.
  • Ensures a secure seal before cylinders are used.
  • Prevents accidents from gas leaks during transportation or usage.

8. Cylinder Cleaning Machines

• Description: Machines that clean both the interior and exterior of gas cylinders using abrasive, chemical, or ultrasonic methods.
• Benefits:
  • Removes contaminants, rust, and residue.
  • Prepares cylinders for accurate inspection and testing.
  • Enhances cylinder appearance and extends service life.

9. Pressure Gauges and Regulators

• Description: Instruments used to measure the internal pressure of gas cylinders during testing and repair.
• Benefits:
  • Monitors precise pressure levels during testing.
  • Helps in calibrating and regulating pressure to avoid over-pressurization.
  • Ensures that cylinders meet safety standards.

10. Cylinder Treading Machine

• Description: Equipment that re-cuts or repairs the threads on cylinder openings, ensuring proper valve attachment.
• Benefits:
  • Fixes damaged threads, extending the cylinder’s usable life.
  • Ensures valves are securely fitted, preventing leaks.
  • Maintains proper sealing during gas refilling and usage.
