Cylinder Testing & Hydro Test
Hydro testing is where compliance meets capacity. Send too few cylinders and you accumulate an overdue backlog; send too many at once and you starve the filling line of stock during peak season.
Test management turns the periodic test cycle into a planned, measured operation: system-generated due lists, batches raised and moved to the test bay by scan, and results captured cylinder by cylinder as pass, fail or condemn.
Every result writes back to the serial's record with the new due date and a generated certificate, so testing simultaneously satisfies the regulator and keeps the fleet available.
Key benefits
Test backlogs disappear
Rolling due lists spread testing evenly instead of forcing a panic batch every year.
Capacity stays protected
Plan test batches around demand so filling never runs short of eligible cylinders.
Results captured at source
Pass, fail and condemn outcomes are recorded at the test bay, not transcribed later.
Certificates without paperwork
Test certificates are generated and attached to each serial automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to test everything at once?
No — rolling due lists let you schedule manageable batches continuously so capacity and compliance stay balanced.
Can we use an external test agency?
Yes, cylinders can be issued to a third-party agency as a tracked movement and received back with results.
What happens when a cylinder fails?
It moves to quarantine automatically and follows your repair or condemnation workflow with approvals recorded.
Is the next test date calculated automatically?
Yes, on a pass the system applies the configured interval and sets the next due date on the serial.
