Design Code for PE storage tanks

RE: Design Code for PE storage tanks
I do not believe that a design code exists for small PE tanks, similar to an API design code for metallic tanks (API-650, for example)
Material standards for PE, of course, do exist....
PE tanks are purchased based on the vendor's rep and, sometimes certified by testing.
This has only been my experience.....and I assume you are talking about USA Design Codes
