Forbesgroup in the UK are very helpful and will be able to help size GRP / Thermoplastic tanks using BS 4994 / BS EN 12573.

RE: what is the Standard of large vented water tanks
the tank shall be made of steel painted with epoxy - or lined.
I will use the standard API 650, do you agree with me ?
or there is another code more suitable for this case ?
RE: what is the Standard of large vented water tanks
There are tank manufacturers who build panel tanks with galvanised mild steel and a PE liner. These can give a design life up to 50 years. They are very competitively prioed.
RE: what is the Standard of large vented water tanks
You may want to look at API 12F, which is for shop fabricated tanks, but like API 650 may be an overkill for water service unless there are other service or quality requirements that you may have.

Yes I think API 12F is a good selection, and i will check with contractors.
For vpl, I mentioned in my subject that it's a vented tank. It's not for domestic water.
Thanks to you all
