6011 Gallon 15 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Tank in Green

The 6011 Gallon 15 Degree Cone Bottom Tank from Enduraplas is a large-volume process vessel built for full-drain applications where product needs to flow completely out the bottom. It holds 6,011 gallons on a gentle 15-degree cone, giving you a controlled, gravity-assisted discharge without the steep vertical stack of a sharper cone angle. Every dimension here is verified against the tank's technical drawing, which you can review on this page before you design your stand and plumbing.

Will it work for your process?

This is a cone bottom tank, so it must sit in an engineered stand or ring rated for the full load - it does not stand on its own base like a flat-bottom tank. The footprint is 144 in (12 ft) across, stored in our data as a 144 x 144 in bounding square, and the tank stands 134 in in overall height. That 134 in is the only height figure in our data and is not split into sidewall versus cone drop, so confirm your stand clearance against the drawing rather than assuming it sits on top of the full 134 in. Filled to capacity with plain water the tank weighs 50,132 lb, and that number is your baseline for sizing the stand, the pad, and the anchoring. As the gentlest of the standard cone angles, the 15-degree bottom suits thinner liquids and continuous processing more than heavy settling solids. If you are weighing cone angles, the 15 vs 30 vs 45 degree selection guide walks through the tradeoffs, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 6,011 gallons is the right working volume before you commit.

Chemical service - confirm the resin first

This tank is listed for chemical and process duty, but our data does not carry a published specific-gravity rating or a confirmed resin grade for this SKU, so do not assume it. Before you put any chemical in a cone bottom polyethylene tank, confirm two things directly: the resin (HDLPE versus XLPE / crosslinked) and the specific-gravity rating, checked against the specific gravity and concentration of your fluid at your operating temperature. Match your fitting and gasket materials to the same chemical. Run your fluid through the concentration- and temperature-specific OEM chemical-resistance chart, and use the Chemical Compatibility Database to check your chemical against polyethylene before ordering. The common, expensive mistake on a tank this size is sizing the vessel correctly but overlooking specific gravity - a dense chemical can exceed a poly tank's rating even when the gallons are right.

Fittings and outlet

This SKU has no published fitting or bottom-outlet schedule in our data. Before you plumb it, confirm the outlet size and material by phone so your discharge, valve, and gasket all match your fluid - do not assume a size from the cone geometry alone.

Freight

At 12 feet across this is an oversized freight item that ships LTL and is quoted per destination. Enter your ZIP in the Freight Cost Estimator for a live rate to your dock, or call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the plant it ships from, the resin and specific-gravity rating for your process, and the stand and outlet configuration for your 6011 gallon cone bottom tank before you order.
