Which code should be used to calculate the wall thickness of a tank with a volume of 2,000 cubic meters at normal pressure (with a design pressure of around 1 kPa)?

I’m currently working on my graduation project... As an undergraduate in chemical safety, I know absolutely nothing about project design; I hope experienced folks can help me out :(
GB50341-2014
Boss, these are the specifications for oil tanks. The material I designed is styrene – can it be used interchangeably?
Oh, right, there’s one thing I’m not quite sure about. I’ve seen some designs where the wall thickness is specified for different numbers of layers, while in other cases only one wall thickness value is given. What’s the difference here?
For large volumes, it is more economical to design them in several rings with different wall thicknesses for each ring.
NB/T4703-2009: Comply with this standard
GB_50341_2014 _Code for design of vertical cylindrical welded steel oil tanks: the wall plates become thicker as one goes downward, while there is a minimum thickness requirement at the upper parts.
This standard does not apply to those larger than 1000 cubic units
I checked it, and indeed page 3 of the standards states that it cannot be applied. Thank you for the reminder, senior!
