CNG Cylinder Testing

CNG Cylinder testing

Omkar Gas Solutions LLP is a company that specializes in providing services related to compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinder testing. CNG cylinders are used in vehicles and other applications that run on natural gas. To ensure their safety and compliance with regulatory standards, periodic testing and inspections are necessary. We do periodic testing of CNG(Type 1 – Metallic Cylinder) and (Type 3 & 4 – Composite Cylinders).

The testing process involves a comprehensive examination of the CNG cylinders to assess their integrity and functionality. Here is a general description of the CNG cylinder testing process:

1. Visual Inspection:

Trained technicians visually examine the exterior of the CNG cylinders for any visible signs of damage, corrosion, or leakage. This includes checking the valve, pressure relief device, and other components for proper functioning.

2. Ultrasonic Testing:

Ultrasonic testing is performed to detect any internal flaws or defects that may compromise the cylinder’s structural integrity. High-frequency sound waves are used to identify any abnormalities such as cracks, voids, or delaminations within the cylinder walls.

3. Hydraulic Testing:

In this step, the CNG cylinders are subjected to hydraulic pressure to test their ability to withstand pressure safely. The cylinders are filled with water or a specialized testing fluid, and the pressure is gradually increased to a predetermined level. The cylinders are closely monitored for any signs of leakage or deformation.

4. Leakage Testing:

A leak test is conducted to ensure that the CNG cylinders do not have any gas leakage. Different methods such as soapy water solution or pressure decay test are employed to detect even the smallest leaks.

5. Documentation and Certification:

Upon successful completion of the testing process, the cylinders are labeled, documented, and certified to indicate their compliance with safety standards and regulations. The certification provides assurance that the cylinders are safe for use.

Please note that the specific testing procedures and requirements may vary depending on the applicable regulations and standards in the region where the testing is conducted. Omkar Gas Solutions LLP ensures that all necessary tests are performed according to the relevant guidelines to ensure the safety and reliability of the CNG cylinders.
