When it's time for your aircraft's pressurized containers—such as oxygen cylinders, fire bottles, emergency air bottles, reservoirs, and water bottles—to undergo hydrostatic testing, it's essential to ensure they are shipped safely and in compliance with regulations. Duncan Aviation is a DOT-certified facility for hydrostatic testing and can assist with this essential maintenance.
The only way to safely and legally ship pressurized containers is by utilizing a certified shipper who adheres to the U.S. DOT Rule 49 CFR—Hazardous Materials Transportation Regulations. These regulations are in place to ensure the safe transport of hazardous materials.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) mandates that anyone shipping hazardous materials must be trained and certified every two years.
Before selecting a certified shipper, always verify their current certification. As the owner or representative of the hazardous material, you are ultimately responsible for ensuring that anyone handling the shipment on your behalf is properly qualified and follows all applicable regulations. Your knowledge of the container's contents is key to safe transport.
