Cylinder Testing, Maintenance & Repair
Our UE 17 ultrasonic cylinder examination machine is non invasive and can test aluminum, high-pressure steel, fire extinguishers and SCUBA cylinders quickly and efficiently. The UE17 uses a non-destructive, single-pass test to scan the cylinder's outer wall as it detects internal flaws. The machine's cylinder size capability can test industry cylinders from small medical M6 sizes up to High Pressure Steel 300 cu. ft. With no need for valve removal, the UE17 is able to re-qualify cylinders quickly and efficiently by returning them to the customer and back into service fast. Call us at 800-586-5412 to learn more.
Benefits of UE Testing

Safe
UE testing complies with all DOT regulations for maintaining cylinders.

Efficient
Unlike hydrostatic testing, UE testing allows us to test cylinders without removing the valves or contents to move cylinders quickly and accurately through our system.

Testing is done locally at our Springfield plant; Cylinders can be dropped off and picked up at any Industrial Source location.
