Aerial Expands Support with Hydrostatic Testing Facility

Aerial, a recognized leader in engineered materials and safety solutions for military and emergency services, has recently bolstered its lifecycle support offerings with the launch of an in-house Hydrostatic Cylinder Requalification Facility. This development comes as an authorized facility by the Department of Transportation (DOT), enabling Aerial to enhance its comprehensive support services for critical equipment used in high-stakes environments.

Enhanced Lifecycle Support Capabilities

The establishment of this facility means that customers can now undergo the necessary hydrostatic testing and requalification of their compressed gas cylinders seamlessly while also managing equipment inspection, maintenance, and overhaul tasks. Aerial’s dedication to supporting mission-critical equipment extends beyond its Emergency Breathing System (EBS) solutions, catering to a variety of compressed gas cylinders utilized in defense, emergency response, industrial, and medical sectors. This includes equipment such as self-contained breathing apparatus, SCUBA cylinders, oxygen cylinders, and various high-pressure gas systems, improving overall efficiency for users in demanding sectors.

Thomas Weidley, CEO of Aerial, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, "Our customers depend on us to keep mission-critical equipment ready when it's needed most." The integration of DOT-approved hydrostatic testing capabilities is a logical extension of the lifecycle support Aerial has always provided, allowing for streamlined compliance processes, reduced downtime, and enhanced value in service delivery.

Advanced Hydrostatic Testing Facility

The new hydrostatic testing facility is housed within Aerial's Next-Generation Breathing Technology Center. It utilizes an advanced computerized system capable of testing cylinders at pressures up to 10,000 PSI, compatible with steel, aluminum, and composite cylinders adhering to DOT standards. This system is designed to manage hydrostatic requalification at the same time as EBS repairs or overhauls, providing a more efficient service experience and minimizing equipment downtime for users.

By consolidating services, Aerial allows customers to coordinate their inspection, maintenance, and regulatory compliance through a single, trusted partner who thoroughly understands their mission and equipment. This minimizes the hassle of dealing with multiple service providers and further aligns with Aerial’s commitment to delivering integrated lifecycle support.

Immediate Availability for Various Customers

Aerial's hydrostatic testing services are promptly available to military, governmental, and commercial clients seeking periodic cylinder certification. This service comes at a critical time when the industry demands reliable support for equipment essential to operations in high-risk situations.
