All tanks must be periodically retested depending on the material and size.
Steel tanks must be hydrotested every five years. All fiber-wrapped tanks must be hydrotested every three or five years, depending on the DOT-E regulation (see below). If you are unsure, assume the tank requires testing every three years. The only exception is for tanks that are less than two inches in diameter and less than two feet in length, which never require retesting.
Steel and aluminum tanks never expire; the tank is good as long as it pasts the hydrotesting. Fiber-wrapped tanks, however, are only good for 15 years maximum. After that, the tank must be retired.
The only exception is steel tanks marked 3HT, which must be hydrotested every three years, and expire after 24 years.
This applies to both CO2 and HPA tanks.
