Horizontal Fiberglass Tank

(OP)
What construction code covers horizontal fiberglass tanks?

Thanks doc.

RE: Horizontal Fiberglass Tank

Since you're asking the question on this forum, you must be inquiring about pressure vessels.  Belding doesn't make pressure vessels, only atmospheric tanks.  Section X of the ASME code covers FRP and composite pressure vessels.

Do you know if Section X is still active? The ASME web site seems to only list the 2001 and 2004 editions, not a 2007 ed. Not sure what that means...

Sbush,

This is not a presssure vessel.

RE: Horizontal Fiberglass Tank

API 12P may be a more appropriate standard.
