Please suggest any useful book or literature for Storage Tank design as per API (650, 620) codes.

You may not find any book on codes as API has publication rights and doesnot allow legal issuance of such books, codes itself are the guides or API conducts trainings on these courses annually which is the best source for the same.

Thanks for reply. But I am only asking for the book "name" not for the code, like in case of pressure vessesl, we have pressure vessel design manual by dennis moss etc.

You should check out following books:
1. "Guide to Storage Tanks and Equipment" by B Long
2. "Above Ground Storage Tanks" by Philip Myers

The first one is the best and recommended book, you must read it in-conjunction with API-620 & 650. Hope it would help.

The first book recommended by Qaisar would take you through with detailed design guidelines as per API 650 & 620.
Great book.
