IS 5844 : 2014 : Hydrostatic Stretch Testing of Compressed Gas Cylinders - Recommendations

Reaffirmed 2024

1. SCOPE

This standard describes procedures for the hydrostatic stretch testing of cylinders intended for the storage and transport of compressed gases. Two methods, namely, water jacket method and non-jacket method, have been covered.

NOTE — Other methods are acceptable provided that they are capable of measuring the total volumetric expansion and the permanent volumetric expansion, if any, of the cylinder under test reliably and repeatably.
