CYLINDER DISASSEMBLY AND ASSESSMENT

Qualified technicians begin by assessing your cylinder’s condition, including precise measurement, pre- test, NDT and failure analysis where deemed necessary. Luss workshop is equipped with the necessary lifting equipment, maintenance cells and stripping benches to disassemble and assess your cylinder prior to repair.

Cylinder Design & optimisation

Cylinder problems occur unwhittingly based on their length of operation and their frequent abuse. The main factors in our experience include both unsatisfactory design and poor repairs by previous owners and/or operators. Furthermore, we remind ourselves that these problems lead to insecurity within the workplace, untimely failure and necessary downtime for any company or business. Allowing Luss to optimise your design and specifications, including seal selection, material selection, tolerances and surface treatments will result in increasing your uptime and ultimately provide recognisable cost savings and reduced headaches for your company over the long run. As part of your cylinder repair ask Luss about the long term benefits of a cylinder re-design.
