Under Transport Canada regulations, SCBA cylinders used in Canada must undergo hydrostatic testing every 5 years for composite cylinders (the most common type used in modern SCBA). Steel and aluminum cylinders follow a 5-year cycle as well.

Cylinders that fail testing must be taken out of service immediately. K&D Pratt’s Technical Services team provides SCBA cylinder testing and repair — contact us to schedule testing or to assess your department’s cylinder fleet.
