Unless the unit is from a junkyard! Yes do not cut your lines to attempt testing....

I posted this before but could not find it even when I searched- so now I ought to be able to find it with a search of "SLS sphere testing." Please post only SLS related material here.

Well I just got a sphere from another member who said he tested it with the rod pushing down method and found it difficult. I received it and it was toast- so I'm sure that the commercial cargo flight which is unpressurized caused the diaphragm to fail. DO NOT SEND THESE AIRMAIL IN CASE THE THEORY HOLDS- ground only to be safe.

Yes! Thanks Charlie.

I also got the other sphere and I'm sure now of the unpressurized airplane flights causing issues with otherwise good but used spheres.
