Crossfire Hydrotesting and Resurfacing
For several years now Crossfire, has been producing fixed output screw-in compressed air systems for paintball. With screw-in air systems there is always a concern that the regulator has to stay secured to the tank when the whole system is unscrewed from the paintgun. For this reason Crossfire has always recommended that their air systems be sent to them when the time comes for hydrotesting. Previously they would remove and inspect regulators before having a tank tested by a subcontractor, but now they have gone a step further, to offer in house hydrotesting and tank refinishing.
Federal regulations give the Department Of Transportation (DOT) authority when it comes to the transport of hazardous materials, including compressed gasses. Through inspection at the manufacturing plant and overpressurizing samples to find their point of failure, the DOT hazmat exemption program provides oversight to make sure that the tanks we use for CO2 and compressed air are tough enough to hold the pressures they face during normal use.
