John,

Here is a list from 2013 for questions #1 and 2. I'm sure there have been a few changes, but this is the last I have.

I know nothing about this. Would a dive shop be able to do this? Could you bring them the smaller tank and look them in the eye with a straight face and say, 'can you test this for me?'

Hydros have to be performed by a DOT-approved/licensed facility, so if you see dive shops that offer the service, in all likelihood they send the bottles out to get it done. I work for Columbia Scuba and we send our scuba tanks to Alarmtech in Jessup. As to pressure ranges, they do fire department tanks with working pressures of 4500 psi so that should cover most common uses.

Fire equipment places do them all the time. So if they can do commercial bottles they can test most anything up to several thousand psi.
