The 60 Gallon 45 Degree Cone Bottom Inductor Tank (Norwesco, SKU N-62205) is a 60-gallon polyethylene cone-bottom tank built for batch mixing, chemical induction, and full drainage. The 45-degree cone forces contents toward the center outlet so the tank empties completely between batches, with no settled residue trapped at the bottom. It measures 32" tall on a 31" x 31" footprint, ships in White, and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating, which is the single most important number to check before you put a chemical in it. Before ordering it for any chemical service, confirm the resin with us at 866-418-1777 (more on that below).
Will it work for your application
Empty, this is a manageable single-stack tank, but you size your stand around a loaded weight, not the tank weight. Filled with water it holds about 500 lb of contents; at its full 1.5 SG rating it is rated to carry up to 751 lb of contents. Spec your cone stand, ring, or platform for 751 lb of contents (the 1.5 SG maximum) plus the tank itself, not the 500 lb water weight. Under-sizing the stand to water weight is the classic failure mode on cone-bottom tanks. The 31" x 31" footprint sets how much floor or stand area you need, and because it is a cone-bottom design it always requires a support stand or legs to hold the cone clear of the ground. One caveat: our listing data does not include the outlet size or fitting configuration for this tank, so do not assume a pre-installed bulkhead fitting. Confirm the outlet and any fitting details from the technical drawing on this page or by phone before you order. To dial in batch volume against your process, run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Chemical compatibility — confirm the resin first
This tank is polyethylene with a 1.5 specific gravity rating. The resin appears to be high-density linear polyethylene, but our listing is not confirmed at the family level, and resin (HDLPE versus crosslinked XLPE) drives chemical resistance. Confirm HDLPE versus XLPE with us at 866-418-1777 before committing this tank to chemical service. The 1.5 SG rating governs how dense a liquid you can safely store: it suits chemicals up to that density. Always size fittings and gaskets to the chemical, not just the tank.
Chemicals compatible with this 1.5 SG tank (verify against the OEM chemical-resistance chart at your specific concentration and temperature before ordering):
- DEF 32.5% — 316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets (the 316 stainless requirement is the one most buyers get wrong — do not substitute generic PVC or brass)
- Urea Solution 50% — PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Acetic Acid 60% — PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Aluminum Sulfate 50% — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Calcium Chloride 40% — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferrous Sulfate 20% — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride 30% — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Carbonate 30% — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ozonated Water up to 10 PPM — PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
If you are buying this tank for DEF storage or a diesel-exhaust-fluid blending station, the wetted materials are the decision: 316 stainless steel fittings and EPDM gaskets. Get those right at order time.
Chemicals that need a higher-SG tank
Several common process chemicals exceed the 1.5 rating and require a 1.9 SG tank instead of this one. If your service is 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, or Zinc Orthophosphate, do not order this 1.5 SG tank. We stock the matching 1.9 SG cone-bottom inductor — call 866-418-1777 and we will spec it with the correct fittings and gaskets. Note the material change: several of these 1.9 services (sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and peracetic acid) require Viton or Aflas elastomers in place of EPDM, so the gasket spec is part of the upsell, not an afterthought. Cross-reference any chemical in the Chemical Compatibility Database before you buy.
