Tanks are qualified by either the DOT (consumer tanks typically 100 gallons or less) or AMSE (no requalification required.) My 500 gallon tank is an ASME tank and essentially a lifetime tank. It’s got an anode that can be replaced as well as the outside being coated and wrapped with specialized materials to protect it.
