Hse Cylinder Test

[fkinugly]

Could somebody clarify the test period for fibre wrap air bottles, is the hse test every 3 years??

depends on the markings, this was borrowed from UkPSF

FIVE YEARS FOR FULL-FIBRE WRAPPED BOTTLES - EN12245 and Pi certified.
THREE YEARS FOR FULL WRAPPED BOTTLES - HSE-AL-FW2 manufactured before July 2003 then five years after retesting for SCI and Luxfer cylinders
THREE YEARS FOR FULL WRAPPED BOTTLES - HSE-AL-FW1
FIVE YEARS FOR HALF WARP BOTTLES
FIVE YEARS FOR ALUMINUM OR STEEL BOTTLES


hope this answers your question
