Carbon fiber, kevlar pressure vessel design standards

[kandelabr]

hi,
i can't find any standard defining design of unfired pressure vessels made from carbon fiber, kevlar, fiberglass or similar high tensile strength materials*.
do standards like these even exist, since these materials are relatively new?

* you know any more similarly competitive materials than the numbered ones?

Hi kandelabr. Check ASME BPV Section VIII, Div 3. New standards for composite vessels are being driven primarily by the fuel cell market.
