CNG Cylinder Testing and Certification Services
HTS RFID System is Encased in All Size New & Old CNG Cylinder Testing Services from over two decades. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a widely used alternative fuel that powers vehicles more cleanly and efficiently compared to traditional fuels. However, due to the high pressure under which CNG is stored often up to 3000 psi it is crucial to ensure the integrity and safety of the CNG cylinders used in vehicles. CNG cylinder testing services are specialized procedures mandated by government regulations and safety standards to examine the structural condition and performance of these high-pressure containers. Typically, cylinders must be tested every three years as per guidelines of RTO & Government of India. The testing process includes several key stages:
- Visual inspection for corrosion, dents, or mechanical damage
- Ultrasonic or hydrostatic testing to assess the cylinder pressure-retention capability
- Leak detection to ensure there is no gas seepage.
These tests help prevent accidents due to cylinder rupture or failure, which can be catastrophic, and they are essential for compliance with transportation and environmental safety laws.
Professional CNG cylinder testing services are carried out by certified facilities equipped with specialized machinery and trained technicians. These service centers follow stringent protocols laid out by PESO, IGL and Government of India. After testing, each cylinder is tagged with a certification stamp and recorded in a database to ensure traceability. If a cylinder fails the inspection or pressure test, it is either repaired (if permissible) or condemned and removed from service. In addition to ensuring safety, regular cylinder testing also contributes to maintaining vehicle performance and fuel efficiency, as even minor leaks or defects can affect pressure delivery and combustion. Furthermore, certified testing helps vehicle owners avoid penalties of Rs.10,000/- Per Cylinder and insurance claims related to non-compliance. In a growing clean energy economy, reliable CNG cylinder testing services play a vital role in promoting the safe and sustainable use of natural gas as a vehicular fuel.
