Bottle testing

[nhbc]

Hi, got two fibre wrap bottles that are getting due for testing but I've been told that H Pac aren't doing tests any more. Does anybody know if thats true and if it is who else will test? Thanks, Paul

HPac are the only people I would personally goto.

www.hpac.co.uk

It costs £22.50, and I really wouldnt trust anyone else.

if i recall they don't do cylnder testing "in house" any more, but still arrange it - ie: send them the bottle and it'll get tested!!

sorry suns


i meant is there an H pack alternative or another option other than to contact them and if not, is it quick and easy

also, stupid as it sounds

why test when the 'expiry date' is up (other than the obvious ... it could blow my face off when filling ) what can wear out over time and how does testing help?

the bottle goes under a degree of stress everytime you fill it, a hydrostatic test see whether the bottle will last for another 5 years
