Certified Hydrostatic testers in the USA: One site to find them all

[lhamilton1807]

I called places that aren’t on the list - scuba, fire safety equipment services, and welding supply. Took a while but I think it was worth it. Yeah, $65 each is nuts. For the aluminum tanks I’m getting tested I could buy a brand new tank & reg for that cost.

It's always good to call ahead. I have also experienced the disappointment of "we don't test paintball tanks"

Wow, $25 with reg removal is awesome. The only place a friend and I have found is an hour an a half drive away and they wanted $65 for the test and I had to remove the regs. For that kind of money I'd send them into ninja. However this site has a ton of places I didn't check. So let's hope I get lucky.

It took me a while to find a place that charged a decent price. Found a welding supply shop that’ll remove the reg and test for $25/ea. Definitely jumping on that - other prices seem so darn inflated for a 5 min test. Of course there are fire departments all over my area that do testing, but by law or policy they can only do it in-house.

This is an awesome resource, thank you for posting. Although many of the places in my area can't do paintball tanks. However there are more places in my area than I knew. I'll call around and see who can test my tanks!
