What pressure can a 20mm thick fiberglass-reinforced plastic material withstand?

What pressure can 20mm thick fiberglass-reinforced plastic withstand, and how many years can such a pressure vessel be used?
Atmospheric pressure containers... without any deliberate damage, they should be able to last for thousands of years.
No corrosion, no damage, no harm – it can be used forever, hahaha;P
The service life also depends on the operating environment. Moreover, the type of fiberglass you use has an impact on operating habits.
It depends on what resin is used, what medium is contained, and whether high temperatures are present; the main medium and environmental conditions have a significant impact.
It’s possible to calculate how much pressure such containers can withstand; GB 34329, HG 20696, and GB 51160 all provide formulas for this purpose. These types of containers also need to be inspected regularly – in addition to corrosion caused by the medium used, the outer surface can also age due to exposure to wind and sunlight
It’s not clear what level of pressure it can withstand; for fiberglass-reinforced plastic equipment, it’s important to pay attention to the quality of the materials and the manufacturing process. It’s also necessary to find a reliable manufacturer. The service life depends on the type of medium and the environment in which the equipment is used. Under normal conditions, with high-quality manufacturing, such equipment can last for ten to twenty years.
