1600 Gallon 30 Degree Cone Bottom Tank with Poly Stand

The Norwesco 1600 Gallon 30 Degree Cone Bottom Tank with Poly Stand (SKU N-40813) is built for chemical service where you need to drain completely and manage solids.The white polyethylene tank carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, a 120 F / 48 C maximum temperature, and a closed top with a 16" lid and a single 2" outlet at the base of the 30-degree cone.Empty weight is 524 lbs, and the tank stands 96" tall on an 89" diameter (89" x 89") footprint atop its poly stand.The cone-plus-stand geometry is what lets you gravity-drain to the last inch instead of leaving product pooled on a flat floor.Before any chemical order, confirm the tank resin with us: the pack records it as HDLPE but this is unconfirmed, and crosslinked (XLPE) and linear (HDLPE) resins do not handle the same chemistries.

Will it work for your application?

Size your load against the 1.5 SG rating before you commit.Filled with water, this tank holds roughly 13,344 lbs; at its maximum rated 1.5 specific gravity it carries up to about 20,016 lbs of contents — that 20,016 lb figure is the number your stand pad and floor must be rated to hold, so plan the pad around it.The footprint is 89.0" in diameter.Confirm your chemical's specific gravity stays at or below 1.5 at your operating temperature.The tank is FDA approved.Use the technical drawing on this page to confirm the 2" outlet placement, the 16" lid opening, and the stand height fit your pump and plumbing layout.If you are still sizing, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will help you match gallons to your batch and turnover.

Fittings and what ships with the tank

The tank ships with the 2" outlet location at the base of the cone and the 16" lid opening in the closed top.No chemical fittings or gaskets are bundled — PP, PVC, CPVC, or 316SS fittings and EPDM, Viton, or Aflas gaskets are selected and ordered per chemical, not included.Match the fitting and gasket to the chemical, not just the tank.

Chemical compatibility

Compatibility below is drawn from the Snyder Industries OEM chemical resistance chart applied to this Norwesco shell, so treat it as directional rather than tank-specific, and it is concentration- and temperature-specific.Confirm your exact chemical, concentration, temperature, and your fitting and gasket materials before ordering.At the 1.5 SG rating, the OEM chart supports service for acetic acid (60%, PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets), aluminum sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM), calcium chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM), ferrous sulfate (20%, PVC, EPDM), magnesium chloride (30%, PVC, EPDM), sodium carbonate (30%, PVC, EPDM), and ozonated water (up to 10 PPM, PVC, EPDM).The two most common cone-tank fluids sit well inside the margin: DEF (32.5%, 316SS, EPDM) and urea solution (50%, PP/PVC, EPDM) each need only a 1.5 SG tank, comfortably below this shell's 1.5 rating.Full details are in our Chemical Compatibility Database.

Chemicals that need a higher-SG tank

Several common chemicals exceed the 1.5 rating and require a 1.9 SG tank instead of this one — do not run them here.Those include ethylene glycol, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrofluosilicic acid, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, phosphoric acid, polyaluminum chloride, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, propylene glycol, sodium bisulfate, sodium bisulfite, sodium hypochlorite, sodium thiosulfate, sulfuric acid, and zinc orthophosphate.The single most expensive mistake on a cone tank is putting a 1.9-SG chemical in a 1.5-SG shell — match SG first, then verify concentration and temperature against the OEM chart.If you need one of these, call 866-418-1777 and we will spec the 1.5 SG equivalent.
