Recommended Reference/Design Texts

(OP)
What texts would be benefitial companions to API 650 and API 620?  I have been looking at "Design of Plate and Shell Structures (Maan H. Jawad)" and "Structural Analysis and Design of Process Equipment, 2nd Edition (Maan H. Jawad)".  If anyone has any opinions or recommendations for other books it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Recommended Reference/Design Texts

The AISI publishes a book "Useful Information on the Design of Plate Structures" or something of the sort.  See if you can get a copy of it.  The parts dealing with code specifics are outdated, but still useful reading.  Working with someone familiar with the standards would be more helpful than anything.

RE: Recommended Reference/Design Texts

Brownell & Young wrote a book in the 1950s or 1960s.  It was titled "Process Equipment Design" or similar.  An excellent reference text.

RE: Recommended Reference/Design Texts

There's also a "Tank Handbook" or something of the sort, but it's more concerned with regulatory requirements than the actual details of tank design.

RE: Recommended Reference/Design Texts

"Aboveground Storage Tanks" by Phil Myers is a good one as well.   

RE: Recommended Reference/Design Texts

"Joe tank" et al.....

The engineering classic text "Process Equipment Design" was published in 1959 by John Wiley & Sons. The authors are Lloyd E. Brownell, Edwin H. Young.

It is a superb engineineering mechanics guideline for the design and analysis of equipment commonly found in petrochemical and process plants.

Because of its scarcity and the publishers inattention to new editions,it now commands over $300 on AMAZON.COM

Many have a cherished Xeroxed copy of the text in thier garage.
