I need to know how to calculate the amount of air needed for the actuators and what size the air tank should be (given the diameter and thickness of the tank, I need to determine its length)
Ask the pneumatic actuator manufacturer for the air consumption of the actuator, or estimate it in accordance with the HG-T 20510-2014 Design Code for Instrument Air Supply and the SH-T 3020-2013 Design Code for Air Supply in Petrochemical Instruments
When purchasing an actuator, if there is a user manual, it usually explains everything clearly. There is no need to calculate it oneself.
