Fire protection systems require regular inspection and testing to ensure that they work in the event of an emergency, and one of the essentials is a hydrostatic test, also known as a cylinder stretch test.
How often should fire suppression cylinders Hydrostatic pressure testing be carried out?
Fire suppression cylinders must be Hydrostatically pressure tested every 10 years.
To help ensure your fire suppression system remains compliant with the latest regulations and to reduce system downtime we offer a full Hydrostatic Test Service (H-Testing) for FM-200®, SAPPHIRE® 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid, CO2 and INERT gas cylinders such are Argonite & Inergen that have been in service for 10 years.
