A 500-gallon propane tank is an ASME
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) stationary pressure vessel, meaning there is no universal requirement to change the valves or recertify the tank simply because it reaches a specific age. • NIP Group 1
Unlike small, portable DOT cylinders (such as 20 Ib barbecue tanks) which require recertification and inspection every 10 to 12 years, large residential 500-gallon ASME tanks are considered "certified for life" and do not expire based on age alone.
