Where to get tank hydro'd?

[Kirk]

That reminds me, I’ve got a tank or two I need to take in for Hydrostatic testing. The only shop I know in Minnesota that actually does their own Hydrostatic testing is Minnesota School of Diving up in Brainerd.  Most shops send them out.  I have had good luck with All Safe on Washington Avenue North, near downtown Minneapolis.  They are a full service tank facility.  They really know what they are doing, and most important, they know how to do a “+” test on LP steel tanks.  In addition to Hydros, they also do Tumbling of steel cylinders and Eddy Current tests on aluminum tanks.  When done, you can also get from them an air fill.  They also provide VIP stickers, but you might need to remind them if you don’t get one, since they often forget, for there really is no legal reason to have them on one’s cylinders (though I’m sure a few dive shops may disagree).  Their turn around is great, usually a day or two.  I suspect most Twin Cities Area shops send tanks there, or to similar facilities.  - Kirk
