do you mean it is 24" external circumference? Is that 8" external diameter? What is the internal diameter?

Are you measuring the socket or the pipe?

I think that would make it 6" clay.
Would mean 150mm inspection chamber with adapters on the clay to suit. Hepworth Drainage do all sizes and adapters.

Why not just build a chamber and cut the existing clay to form a channel in the chamber with concrete haunching as here
