I know i can spend $25, wait a week, and let gotcha paintball send off a HPA tank for me. Or i can pay about the same with shipping to send it to hydrolab (http://www.hydrotester.com)
I found 2 places listed on the DOT hazmat site as being high preasure cylinder capable here in raleigh
C054 Pye Barker Fire & Safety, Inc.
Industrial (high and low pressure cylinders)
11/23/2004
832-101 Purser Drive
Raleigh, NC
C491 SimplexGrinnell
Industrial (high and low pressure cylinders)
10/11/2005
540 Civic Blvd. Suite 105
Raleigh, NC

Anyone have any experiance using them or other HP recert places locally, whether it be for scuba/painball/welding tanks, anything?

Im pretty sure the fire dept will certify your tank if thats what you want. What exactly do you want done?

just give em a call. If they are listed and certified they will do it all by the books.

^and I have no fucking clue what the hell he is talking about.

Post here what you find out. I'm pretty sure my nitrogen tank needs to be hydro tested and i know my scuba tank needs to be tested.

smoothcrim usually is completly off base, but i know of some fire stations (read: one in winston salem) that can hydro stuff like bulk c02 tanks due to the older fire extinguishhherdsafjhrs using co2.

But yeah, i doubt they are going to do a HPA tank.

some scuba places can hydro tanks but only up to 3000psi usually.

yeah, lower preasure tanks can be done visual inspoection only, high presure needs a hyrdro setup, thius are, so far, the only raleigh ones listed on the hazmat tank recert site. I will give them a call on monday, if they cannot help then i will send it off.
