True or False: An ASME container can be filled if it appears to be in good condition, regardless of the presence of a data plate.

The statement is false because an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) container must have a data plate to verify its compliance with safety and technical standards. The data plate provides essential information, such as the manufacturer's specifications, the date of the last inspection, and the tank's design pressure. Without this crucial information, filling the container poses safety risks, as there may be uncertainties regarding its structural integrity and suitability for containing LP gas.

In addition, regulatory standards mandate that all LP gas containers must have a recognized data plate that confirms they meet the required specifications. This ensures that the containers are safe for use, minimizng the risk of accidents or failures during operation. Thus, even if a container appears to be in good condition, the absence of a data plate disqualifies it from being filled.
