Testing CNG cylinders in cars is crucial for safety and compliance with regulations. CNG is stored at high pressures in these cylinders, and any damage or defects can lead to dangerous situations. If the CNG cylinder passes all tests, it is certified and labeled with an expiration date.
Proper documentation of the testing process is essential for regulatory compliance and safety records.
CNG cylinders have a specified service life, typically around 15-20 years, after which they must be removed from service and replaced. Periodic retesting is also required, generally every 3 years as per Govt Rules.
It is crucial to have CNG cylinder testing performed by trained and certified technicians or facilities to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Testing and maintaining these cylinders are essential to prevent accidents and ensure the safe use of CNG in vehicles.
