Hi. Can anyone provide me with books which provide design criteria (stresses, shell thickness.....) for storage tanks apart from using API 650?

"Provide" you with books ???

We could suggest some titles for you to purchase ...

Exactly what liquid do want to store, under what temperature and pressure conditions; to which construction code and what budget do you have ?

"Let the guessing game begin !!!!"

What are you trying to do ?
