Nice. Complete and practical.👍 Thank you. Hamed from Iran.

Great video, keep your great work. Thank you.

Thanks Don... Excellent video.

... very good demo Don... thanks for uploading

excellent video...thank you

Wow, great information. It might be a boring job to some, but I think I would enjoy doing that all day long. By the way, I am an engineer and technical writer. With your uncanny ability to articulate precisely the method by which an individual would use to inspect, dismantle, hydrostatically test and prepare a cylinder for a recharge is impressive to say the least. Perhaps you and I should partner to create the most detailed, descriptive, comprehensive and fully illustrated Kama Sutra instruction manual and relationship guide. Maybe we can get Gilbert Godfrey to do the voiceover. Like if you could imagine him being the narrator of the infamous 50 shades of gray bestseller audio book. LOL. But seriously, great work on the vid. I learned a lot actually.

Good job in demonstrating. However, I'm an old school fire extinguisher tech licensed in the state of Texas. My license allows me to do a hydro test on most extinguishers. What I have become accustomed to is replacing all o-rings as well as valve stems. There are o-rings on your valve stems that Texas requires that all o-rings and valve stems be replaced. They to can also become brittle and crack and they also compress in the valve head that may cause leaks and are not usable during any use the fire extinguisher may be needed for. So best bet is to replace any o-rings and valve stems. I rebuilt and certified thousands of fire extinguishers in my 15 year career. 🤗

Good job sir. Than you for giving me a more information. For how can we do hydro test of fire extinguisher. I like your performance. I am still doing in this work qatar. Thank you from Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵

Superb sir

Hey Don. Thanks for the video. I am currently working on my FE / FK licenses. I'm trying to figure out what equipment I will need once I have my certifications. Would you be willing to help me out? I'm a hood cleaner in South Carolina and it just makes sense to also do fire suppression inspections.

Nice, please am planning to setup something like this, please where and how can I get this machines

Nice!!, do you know, or does anyone know how the material for the black cone calls? Thanks for the video!!

Great vid bud,keep making them .Any one have link for a vid how to assemble and connect Getz hydro static machine with the cage?:)

What certification do you need to do 6 year and hydro testing? I've done inspections for years. And I have nicet level 1&2 alarm technician and level 1 inspector.

What percentage of water to volume of bottle do you fill it to before hydrostatic testing procedure?

Hello

What does a test cost? seems like there would be millions of these out there.. good grief that is a lot of work for a device that most likely is never used... but when you need one it's good to know it works

At long last the only way how a fire extinguisher should ever be serviced Me being a service manager has came across multiple extinguisers where the “fly by nights” has serviced an extinguiser and when inspected i refuse to give back the extinguiser to the client as the fire extinguisher has more wrong with it than right

ok

Good job but wrong about one thing. ALWAYS replace the valve stem. The orings on the valve stem actually wears out and it flattens out in 6 years which you should change every 6 years. I can't tell you how many times I've serviced a fire extinguisher that the valve stem wasn't changed out within a year's time from last service date because you cleaned it instead of changing it. But for the most part it was a decent video. When doubt have a professional check it out.

Hii

You forgot to bleed the air out before you tested it

What if you just put a sticker on it? Who would know if you tested it or not?

why use three times of gauge pressure for hydrostatis test? where is this number come form ? NFPA ? BE5306 ?

You said you brake it lose because Factory tired it. If that is a 12 year old Fire Extinguisher it should have had a 6year maintenance done on it 6 years ago. So that should be hand tired on

Where's your PPE???

12:27 if wore to use oxygen it would probably blow up. Remember oxygen is extremely combustible gas.

Are you a joke? I been doing this for the last 12 years.

Grasp the rigid and smooth bonnet of my massive cylinder and re-seat my head. Slip a gasket on the mouth and insert the stem all the way to the base fitting the head to the cylinder by gently guiding the nipple of the top assembly that protrudes from the throat. Make sure that you discharge and dry it thoroughly with nitrogen before you deliver your contents deep inside. LOL. It reminds me when I was a graphic designer and we would speak of hiring a stripper that also had the skills for colour separating images using techniques like trapping, spreading and choking. Very suggestive vernacular.
