My company is going to create a cryogenic engineering department and we need some books in order to facilitate this project.
This is the kind of information we would like to obtain from the books:
1- Calculations for determining the storage facilities, such as storage tanks, pumps, compressors, etc.
2- Calculations for pipe sizing, valve sizing, etc .
3- Familiarity with relative standards
Do you have any suggestions?

April 29, 20091.) Calculations for determining the storage facilities, such as storage tanks, pumps, compressors, etc.
The CGA and the ASTM; The Compressed Gas Association is online at http://www.cganet.com. ASTM, http://www.astm.org. They are an international standards association.
2.) Calculations for pipe sizing, valve sizing, etc. :
For technical design info also the CGA and ASTM and the books by Flynn, Weisend, and Barron (see below in list) for standards.

3.) Familiarity with relative standards:
Also the CGA and ASTM. Caution: every nation has its own standards. You need to contact the relevant authority for that nation, and the UN mandates shipping and storage. This is a complicated problem because each nation is different. For shipping, for instance the USA and Canada are even different. And then you are aware of some countries’ (such as USA) restrictions on commerce, I am sure.
