What is Hydro Testing of CNG Cylinder
Cylinders? Hydrostatic Testing, also known as
Hydrostatic Testing or CNG Leak Test, is a
non-destructive method to inspect cylinders for
corrosion, structural flaws and leaks. The
following procedure checks the integrity of the
cylinders structure. This process checks the
cylinders pressure handling strength.
Hydrotesting is filling a cylinder with water and
applying heavy pressure to it using a
high-pressure pump. Leakage will be detected if
the cylinder has a low capacity. These cylinders
should be thrown away immediately and not used.
Hydrostatic Testing, also known as Hydrostatic
Testing, is a non-destructive method to inspect

Why is CNG Hydro Testing important Hydro Testing
is essential to prevent mishaps like cylinder
explosions. Hydro Testing is essential for your
safety and that of your family. CNG cylinders are
subject to a lot of pressure during refueling.
Constant pressure on the cylinder walls causes a
crack in metal that is no longer able to handle
the pressure and eventually explodes. Hydro
Testing is required to avoid these dangerous
situations.CNG vehicles must have their CNG
Hydro-tested every three years, per Indian
Standards 8451200 Gas Cylinder Rules (2004). A
certificate of compliance is issued to the
customer after the test. This certificate must be
attached to the proper place. This certificate is
required to refuel the cylinder at any authorized
gas station. Failure to adhere to these
requirements can result in refusal to fill gas
stations or other penalties.

Where can I get my cylinders tested and
certified? Whats the approximate cost of a
cylinder?Hydro Testing can be done using PEST and
Government Approved CNG Testing Pumps. Find out
which Hydro Testing Pumps are approved. Although
the approximate cost of Hydro Testing can vary
from location to location, it is usually between
Rs.1200 and Rs.3000.CNG is a cleaner, more

negligence could increase the danger.To eliminate
fire hazards, it is recommended that your CNG
cylinder hydro testing be done each year. The
Testing also helps to ensure that CNG is being
used correctly and maintains a steady flow. This
test is very affordable and does not cost a lot
of money.PLS Automobile Services Pvt. Ltd. is a
