The Enduraplas 6000 Gallon Green Cone Bottom Tank (SKU THC06000G) is a 6000-gallon polyethylene cone bottom tank built for full-drain bulk chemical service. It stands 195 inches tall on a 110 x 110-inch footprint, and the green tank wall is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, which lets it hold dense chemistry beyond the reach of a standard water-service tank. The cone bottom geometry drains the vessel toward the outlet between batches, helping clear settled solids and residual product. At a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, this is the densest-service cone bottom tank in this size class; there is no higher-SG version to step up to. If you are deciding between cone bottom platforms across brands, the Cone Bottom Tank Stand Compatibility Matrix compares Norwesco, Snyder, and Enduraplas before you commit to a stand.
Will this 6000 gallon cone tank work for your site?
A cone bottom tank only works if the stand and slab underneath it carry the loaded weight. Filled with water this tank weighs about 50,040 lb; at its full 1.9-SG rating it can carry up to 95,076 lb of contents. Size the stand legs, the anchor pattern, and the foundation for that loaded figure, not the empty tank. There is also the matter of vertical room: at 195 in (16 ft 3 in) tall before the stand, confirm overhead clearance, door and roll-up heights, and any height ordinances at the install site. Check the cone angle and outlet height against the technical drawing on this page before you pour or fabricate anything. To match capacity to your actual draw and refill cycle, run the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide, and see the 6000 Gallon 15 Degree Cone Bottom Tank buyer's guide for a full walkthrough of this size class.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is a polyethylene (HDLPE?) vessel rated to 1.9 specific gravity. Because the resin designation carries a question mark in our records, do not finalize any oxidizer or solvent service until we confirm XLPE versus HDLPE in writing, since crosslinked and linear polyethylene diverge most exactly on aggressive oxidizers such as sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and peracetic acid. Compatibility below is per the OEM chemical-resistance chart and is concentration- and temperature-specific, so match your exact strength and operating temperature before ordering fittings or gaskets. Suitable services on the 1.9-SG tank include Acetic Acid (60%, PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets), Aluminum Sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM), Calcium Chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM), DEF (32.5%, 316SS fittings, EPDM), Ethylene Glycol (100%, PVC, EPDM), Ferric Chloride (50%, PVC, EPDM), Ferric Sulfate (60%, PVC, EPDM), Ferrous Sulfate (20%, PVC, EPDM), Hydrochloric Acid (37%, PVC, Viton), Hydrofluoric Acid (48%, PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%, PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrogen Peroxide (50%, PVC, Viton), Magnesium Chloride (30%, PVC, EPDM), Peracetic Acid (30%, 316SS, Aflas), Phosphoric Acid (85%, PVC, Viton), Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM), Potassium Carbonate (50%, PVC, EPDM), Potassium Hydroxide (saturated, PVC, EPDM), Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS, EPDM), Sodium Bisulfate (PVC/PP, EPDM), Sodium Bisulfite (PVC/PP, EPDM), Sodium Carbonate (30%, PVC, EPDM), Sodium Hypochlorite (under 16.5%, PVC, Viton), Sodium Thiosulfate (40%, PVC, EPDM), Sulfuric Acid (98%, CPVC fittings, Viton), Urea Solution (50%, PP/PVC, EPDM), Zinc Orthophosphate (PP/316SS, EPDM), and Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM, PVC, EPDM). Each chemical's full record lives in the Chemical Compatibility Database.
Match fittings and gaskets to the chemical, not the tank
The mistake that ruins a chemical tank is correct resin with the wrong elastomer. Note how the gasket material shifts by service: EPDM holds up for the salts and glycols, but the oxidizing acids, sodium hypochlorite, and hydrogen peroxide call for Viton, and peracetic acid jumps to Aflas. Sulfuric acid at 98% needs CPVC fittings rather than plain PVC. DEF and peracetic acid require 316 stainless fittings because PVC will not serve them, and DEF in particular degrades many plastics at the wetted-metal interface. Spec the elastomer and fitting body for your exact chemical before you order, and review the tank level gauge selection guide and the label and signage compliance guide so the monitoring and hazard markings are correct from day one.
