TKS recertifies DOT 3A, 3AA, 3AX, 3AAX and 3T trailer1cylinders using acoustic emission in lieu of hydrostatic testing. TKS’ U.S. DOT special permit # 14584 allows for AET on DOT 3A, 3AA, 3AX, 3AAX and 3T cylinders.

During our hydrostatic test, the SCBA cylinder is examined to ensure it can safely hold its rated pressure. This regular testing is crucial because SCBA cylinders, or any compressed gas cylinder for that matter, can rupture if there’s degradation in structural integrity.

TKS provides visual, hydrostatic, ultrasonic, and acoustic emission testing  in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Nondestructive Examination Guidelines and American Petroleum Institute API 510 Code – In-service Inspection of Pressure Vessels.
