Your problem requires a better definition

  1. Are the sizes you gave acually in mm^3? mm is a linear unit, mm^3 is volumetric
  2. What are you looking for in general?? This is a very incomplete request, and I want to help, but you ask for what dia tank you need. Tank indicates a volume which means you may want to know the volume??? Not sure here??
  3. Are you looking to design a complete system (ie- vacuum pump, accumulator, control system)?
  4. My basic guess is you need a pump, sensing & controls, and an accumulator, please give a detailed description of what exactly you need and maybe myself or someone else on the forum can help.

fm!

Thanks.

sorry if the query has confused my requirement

i want to know as per API 650 or any other standards, what is the smallest size (diameter of tank) of tank requires the use of corner or angular model vacuum box to check the shell to bottom weld joint of vertical storage steel tanks.
