Tensile Test
Provides information about the raw material's tensile strength, yield strength and ductility
Spectrometer Test
Analyses the chemical composition of the raw material.
Bending Test
Checks for cracks and other non-conformance on the welding surface
Hydrostatic Test
The cylinder will undergo hydrostatic testing to verify its ability to withstand pressure. This step identifies any leakages or distortions
Pneumatic Test
Each cylinder is filled with compressed, pressurized air prior to immersing it in water. This will identify any leaks in the weld or the valve thread
