HYDROSTATIC TEST YOUR PAINTBALL CYLINDER

Salam and greetings ballers,

If you need a quick hydrostatic test for your cylinder, you can send it to me and we can arrange appointment for pick up at Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Klang, Astaka or nearby. Same goes for after hydrotest. The test will be conducted by a cylinder service company which served the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy for their safety and survival equipments and being carried out according to DOT Manuals depending on the Cylinder Specification.

It will take maximum 5 working days either single cylinder or per team cylinders (depending on volume).

As for the Dye Throttle gas cylinder, it had undergone Standard Operating Procedure of Hydrotest such as crack or leakage verification via fiber optic light, high pressure test at 7500psi via water jacket test, cleaning, drying and finally labeling the cylinder with certified logo and hydrotest date.
The test will also measures the REE: Rejection Elastic Expansion. This is to measure the cylinder expansion whenever it is filled up (notice that it is HOT during the gas filling). Every cylinder has its own REE level. For example below, its REE: 12.9. The test result was 3.5 means it passed. If exceed than 12.9, means the tank is obsolete.
