This 3-4-hour course provides Inspectors with the added training to know when and how to conduct a proper Eddy Current test of cylinders in addition to hands on experience with Eddy Current devices. Participants receive certification upon course completion. This course is required for hydro testers and complies with Appendix C of 49 CFR 180.
UN Pressure Receptacle Training
UN cylinders are becoming more common in the industry and many are unsure as to how they are used, filled and requalified. In this training you will learn the basics of UN cylinders or pressure receptacles as they are referred to in the regulations. This training meets the requirements in 49CFR 172.704 for function specific training for hazmat employees that are handling, refilling and requalifying UN pressure receptacles.

Private Training Courses also available
Benefits of private training:
- You need to have several people trained to comply with DOT and OSHA requirements for dealing with high pressure
gas cylinders. It makes economic sense to pay travel expenses for one person versus 5. - As well, it alleviates the travel expenses relating to sending those employees to Oklahoma City (or other venues) for
training. - The ability to have everyone trained at the same time....get it done and over with.
- Documentation of certification on file. If certificates get lost or misplaced they can be replaced.
- Training from one of the top industry instructors. I have a comprehensive knowledge about compressed gas cylinders. It's my job and my passion.
- Enhanced level of safety for your employees and customers.
- Courses provide up to date information on issues affecting cylinders you and your employees are servicing.
