Where is the identification information located on an ASME Tank?

The identification information for an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) tank is typically found on the Data Plate. The Data Plate contains crucial details such as the tank's serial number, design pressure, manufacturer, and other essential specifications. This plate is affixed to the tank in a secure manner to ensure it remains intact and legible throughout the tank’s service life. By being prominently displayed, the Data Plate allows operators and inspectors to easily access and verify important information related to the tank’s compliance with safety standards and regulations.

In the context of other options, while some identification methods, like stamping or engraving, are used for specific types of equipment, they do not apply universally across all ASME tanks. The valve attachment method is not standard for identifying the tank itself, and collared engravings may be specific to certain tanks but do not encompass the full scope of information provided on a Data Plate. Thus, the Data Plate remains the most reliable and standardized location for identification on ASME tanks.
