Configure Tanks & Pressure Vessels in Minutes
A tank and vessel configurator lets fabricators turn capacity, material, design pressure, nozzles, jacketing and agitation into a validated, ASME-compliant quote and drawing package without waiting on engineering. Stop losing custom vessel deals to slow, error-prone manual estimating.
Every Vessel Parameter, Rule-Driven
Capacity, code, and fittings validated the moment they are selected
Capacity & Geometry
Enter working volume in gallons, liters or barrels and let the tool size shell diameter, straight-side height, and head type (2:1 elliptical, ASME F&D, hemispherical, or cone bottom) automatically.
Material Selection
Choose 304/316L stainless, carbon steel, duplex, or clad construction. The configurator applies allowable stress, corrosion allowance, and surface finish (2B, #4, electropolish) to drive thickness and cost.
ASME Code Compliance
Toggle ASME Section VIII Div 1 design and the tool calculates MAWP, head and shell thickness, and flags U-stamp, RT, and PWHT requirements before the quote is sent.
Nozzles & Fittings
Add nozzles, manways, sight glasses, and instrument connections by size, schedule, and flange rating. Reinforcing pad logic and weight roll up into the bill of materials instantly.
Jacketing
Specify dimple, half-pipe, or conventional jackets with steam, glycol, or chilled-water service. Jacket zones, design pressure, and connections are configured and priced as you build.
Agitation
Select top-entry or side-entry agitators, impeller type, motor HP, gearbox, and mechanical seal. Baffle placement and mounting nozzle are added to the drawing automatically.
Why Vessel Fabricators Use a Configurator
From inquiry to fabrication-ready package
Quote Custom Vessels Same Day
Replace days of back-and-forth between sales and engineering with a same-day quote that already accounts for code thickness and weld labor.
No Non-Compliant Quotes
Design pressure, temperature, and material combinations are checked against ASME rules so you never quote a vessel you cannot legally build.
Drawings on Demand
Generate a general arrangement drawing and BOM automatically, feeding your shop and CAD systems the moment an order lands.
Accurate Material Costing
Plate weight, nozzle counts, jacket area, and finish all roll into pricing, protecting your margin on every custom build.

Custom vessels are classic configure-to-order and engineer-to-order work, and a product configurator turns that complexity into a repeatable sales process.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Ignitionary encodes ASME Section VIII Division 1 logic so that selected design pressure, temperature, diameter and material drive minimum shell and head thickness, corrosion allowance, and MAWP. The configurator flags any combination that requires a U-stamp, RT level, or PWHT, preventing non-compliant quotes from ever reaching the customer.
Every nozzle, manway, and jacket option carries parametric cost rules tied to size, schedule, flange rating, and reinforcement requirements. As you add a 6-inch 150# nozzle or a dimple jacket rated for steam, the configurator recalculates material weight, labor hours, and price in real time, so the quoted figure always reflects the exact fabrication scope.
Yes. Once capacity, head type, agitation, and jacketing are selected, Ignitionary produces a dimensioned general arrangement drawing and bill of materials. Agitator mounting, baffle layout, and jacket zones are placed automatically based on your engineering rules, giving fabrication a head start before the order is even released.
