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

[jokers]

Thank you good sir I appreciate you taking the time to look into it.

The link is returning a 404error, which is “Page Not Found.” I found this page that still links to it, so my guess is that they’re having issues right now.
Another option would be to get the mobile app and see if the backend services are still running. It works well on my iPad.

Enter your ZIP code, indicate the distance you wish to search, and go. You want to look for the blue icons - the orange ones can only do visual inspections.

If you’d rather use your phone, there are links to the apps for both Apple and Android devices on the page above.

lhamilton1807 for some reason that link is not working anymore when i try to go to it i get an error and if i remove /rinlocator it takes me to the phmsa site and i need to login. In order to do that i think i need a company that is already associated with them. In your searches previously was there another site that did something similar? If not do not worry about it, I have gotten all my tanks taken care of for the time being but in case someone here needs it.

Used to have Western Sales in Deer Park, TX just outside of Houston but the owner retired and closed up shop a few months back.

Ninja isn't taking testing orders at the moment. I'm in Virginia and trying to find someone. The closest one I'm trying to get in touch with, but anyone know anyone that will take shipped requests?

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

Getting that over and over and over on the phone.

My Go to here in Florida, They have tested tanks for me while I waited. Excellent shop!

Sadly my $25 find was a dead end. They thought I was talking about scuba-size tanks even though I clearly told them they were 48ci. Oh well, the hunt continues!

[lhamilton1807]

Yep, the site above is the same information in a web portal and mentions the app. Good call!

This, just because they have A hydrostatic cert, doesn't mean they have the correct one for paintball tanks

Also, there's an app called RIN locator that does the same thing

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.
