True or False: An ASME container without a data plate can still be filled if it appears to be in good condition.

An ASME container without a data plate cannot be filled, regardless of its apparent condition. The data plate is a crucial element of the container as it provides essential information regarding its specifications, design, manufacturing details, pressure ratings, and compliance with safety standards. Filling a container without this documentation poses significant safety risks, as it is impossible to determine whether it is suitable for service according to established codes and regulations. This requirement ensures that all containers meet stringent safety criteria, thereby protecting users and the environment from potential hazards associated with pressurized storage.
