All,
I understand that compressed gas cylinders must have a current hydrostatic
test to be filled. I have read a vendor site that indicates that
a cylinder may be transported after the hydrostatic test expiration date
if it was filled prior to the expiration date. If cylinders that
have exceeded the hydrostatic test date are considered safe to transport
are they considered safe to continue using? In other words, if a
compressed gas cylinder is not empty but has exceeded the hydrostatic test
expiration date is it required by regulation or prudent practice to be
returned for testing or can it continue to be used?
Thanks,
Ben
