Our process includes detailed inspection, hydrostatic testing, and complete documentation—helping you avoid costly replacements and maintain operational readiness across diverse applications.
Steelhead’s Recertification Services Are Ideal For:
- Type 1 (All-Metal), Type 2 (Hoop-Wrapped), Type 3 (Fully-Wrapped with Metal Liner), and Type 4 (Fully-Wrapped with Polymer Liner) Whether your vessels are used in SCBA, SCUBA, CNG, hydrogen, or industrial gas systems, we have the tools and expertise to recertify them to DOT-SP and other applicable standards.
- Fleet Operators & OEMs We support periodic inspections and recertification programs for transit agencies, commercial fleets, and OEMs managing large inventories of pressure vessels.
Pressure vessels are critical components in transportation, energy, safety, and recreation systems—and their continued use depends on strict compliance with safety and certification standards. Steelhead’s recertification services help you maintain compliance, minimize downtime, and maximize the return on your pressure vessel investments.
Assessment of the vessel’s external condition for signs of wear, corrosion, impact damage, or delamination that could compromise safety or performance.
For composite and metal vessels, ultrasonic thickness gauging and other NDT methods are used to evaluate structural integrity without causing damage.
Vessels are pressurized with water to confirm their ability to safely contain high-pressure gases, verifying burst strength and leak-tightness under load.
Complete documentation packages include test results, inspection reports, and updated certification labels—ensuring vessels are ready for continued service and regulatory audits.
