Department of Transportation Testing and Inspection Requirements

- External Visual Inspection (V) – Annual Test
- Leakage Test (K) – Annual Inspection
- Internal Visual Inspection (I) – Five-Year Test
- Pressure Test (P) – Five-Year Test
- Thickness Test (T) – Two-Year Test
- Upper Coupler Inspection (UC) – Five-Year Test
