book to learn how to design Api 620 storage tank 5

[shakila21]

hi
does anyone know any book or source to learn and master api620? is there any book like "PTB-asme section viii example problem manual" for Api 620 storage tank?
I need to learn how to design based on api 620 but this standard is so complicated and that`s why I`m searching about a source to learn it much more easier.

Shakalaka,

There is no book for API-620 tanks....

For ASME pressure vessels, I assume you mean this publication:

I do not remember also any book specific for only API 620 . However, the book ( Structural Analysis and Design of Process Equipment by Maan H. Jawad , James R. Farr ) has a separate section for API 650 and 620 tanks.

This book is very useful to see the theory and design of PV parts, AST,...

Dear MJCronin,
Thank you for your reply. yes this is exactly the book I mentioned. I wanted to know if there is such book for Api 620.

Dear HTURKAK,
thank you for reply. I will go for this book...
I`m searching about a way to learn how to design a storage tank based on Api 620 and unfortunetly I couldn`t find anything... not an example not tutorial nothing... api620 standard is complicated and it will take a lot of time to learn that...
I hope I could find a way to learn it faster.

A starting point might be WRC Bulletin 69, covers the biaxial stress criteria for large low pressure tanks.

Dear BJI
thank you very much for your reply. I don`t have access to WRC Bulletin 69 but I will try to find it.

Thank you so much for these recommendations!

You need to know the manufacturing and inspection, not just the calculations.
