13 ci tanks

rudz · 06-20-2007, 05:09 PM

i read the rules and it says they are not exempt and have to be hydro'd, correct?, every 3 years?, i was wondering, whenh hydro'd do they get stamped or have that same seal that the cf tanks get, i dont want to ruin my anno on a 13 ci hpa tank

13ci tanks do not need hydro testing.

ok, i had one tech who wouldnt touch it, cuz he said it wasnt safe, and another told me i had to have it hydrod, wtf

However, if you just had it annodized, it is supposed to be hydrotested, though I'm not sure how that could ever be enforced.

Anyway. The 2x2 rules applies to aluminium HPA tanks as well as co2.

someone have the link to the official rules, cuz im gonna need em

From what I read the 2x2 rule covers co2 tanks and whatnot up to 1800psi. If I read that right then the 13/22cu 3000psi tanks do need to be tested. 3.5/4/7/9oz aluminum Co2 tanks do not.

DOT-3AL Cylinders (Catalina Cylinders and Catalina Cylinders Cliff Impact Division)

Requalifying required every five (5) years. Requalifying of a cylinder is to be performed five (5) years after the original manufacturing hydrostatic test date stamped on the crown of the cylinder. In section 180.205 (c) it states that a cylinder that is filled before the retest date may remain in service until it is emptied of its charge. In other words, a cylinder that currently has a charge when the 5 year retest date occurs does not have to be drained of its charge and retested. The charge can be used and the cylinder retested after the charge has been used.
The requalifying specified in part 180 consists of an internal inspection and hydrostatic retesting of the cylinder at a pressure equivalent to 5/3 the service pressure of the cylinder.
There are a few companies that have DOT exemptions to requalify cylinders by Ultrasonic Examination (UE) of the cylinders instead of visually inspecting and hydrostatically retesting the cylinders. In some cases there are benefits to this type of requalifying.
DOT-3AL Cylinders "2 by 2 rule" (Catalina Cylinders Cliff Impact Division only)

Requalification not required per the note under table 1 in 49CFR part 180.205. The note reads, "Any cylinder not exceeding two (2) inches in outside diameter and less than two (2) feet in length is exempt from volumetric expansion testing."

Do the 3000psi tanks fall under the DOT-3AL code? I'm at work, don't have a tank on hand.
