References for Storage Tanks

[Engdoitbetter]

Hi engineers, :-D

I've tried looking for it in the forums but couldn't find anything.

Do you have any special recommendations regarding books & references on storage tanks (API 650/620)?

I'm going to be hired in a Company which deals with them, and I would like to take a look at the fundamentals (especially theoretical basis for design).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance. ;-)

Check the references in API 650 / 620, especially footnotes, which will lead you to the original works that became the basis for some of the designs.

UL 142, API 653, API 2000 to the list of good stuff to know.

Stef,

The "Aboveground Storage Tank handbook" by Phillip Meyers is worth the money.

Ok, I was about to buy it but not so sure,

Thanks for your eng-tips
