creekbottom Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have an opportunity to get a cylinder from work but I know the tanks are a little older. How can you tell if they are still good? Besides going to get it filled and finding out that way Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgd Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Not really any way to test besides a hydro test. If the hydro date is current and the cylinder is in good shape it's probably okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekbottom Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Where do you find the hydro date? And what would be considered not current? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 It should be stamped into the cylinder somewhere near the top. They're good for 5 years after that date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
