Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon XLPE Heavy Duty Cone Bottom Tank

The duty this shape is for: low headroom, full drain, thirty degrees

Take the duty first. A thousand gallon cone bottom tank is a working vessel rather than a store: something is made up in it, held, drawn off completely and made up again. Polymer and coagulant preparation at a water or wastewater works. Liquid feed and crop input blending at an agricultural site. Dosing solution make-up at a pump skid. Rinse and recovery water cycled through a shift. A buffer volume sitting between two stages that run at different rates. What every one of those has in common is the changeover, and the changeover is where a cone pays for itself, because whatever a flat bottomed vessel leaves in the last inches of an 8,340 pound column is a volume somebody has to rinse, pump or dispose of before the next batch starts. On this record that fall is published rather than guessed: the cone angle field reads 30 degrees. What makes this particular thousand the one to look at is how little height it asks for. The circle is 86 inches, a little over seven feet, and the shell stands only 66 inches, five feet six inches. That is a drum rather than a column, and it is the answer when the building rather than the floor plan is the constraint. A cone bottom tank always arrives on top of something, so your finished height is the stand, plus 66 inches of shell, plus the clearance a person needs above the opening on top to fill it and look into it. Measure that to the lowest fixed thing over the spot, not to the roof: a duct run, a sprinkler main, a light fitting, a crane rail or the underside of a mezzanine is what decides it, and it is never what people measure first. The other half of the height budget is underneath, and it is the half that gets designed last and regretted first. The discharge has to reach a pump, a tote, a drum or a drain, and every inch lost down there is an inch you cannot buy back once the structure is set. That structure is a separate purchase. This tank has no flat floor, it cannot stand on its own bottom, and this sheet publishes no stand, no legs, no skirt, no support ring and no bolt pattern, so no stand height, stand load or stand material appears on this page. What the sheet does publish is what the structure has to carry: 210 pounds of empty tank, 8,340 pounds of water and 15,846 pounds at the rating, arriving at a handful of stand feet inside an 86 inch circle rather than spreading across a slab. The wide circle helps here, because feet set further apart carry less each, and that is the quiet advantage of a squat shell. Settle the support against the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix before a part number is fixed, size the volume with the tank sizing calculator, and take the freeboard discipline from the tank sizing guide.

Two very different thousands, and the sizes on either side

The most useful line on this table is the fourth one, because it holds exactly the same 1000 gallons at exactly the same 210 pounds and is a completely different object. 5000000N42 does it on a 64 inch circle at 103 inches tall: five feet four inches of floor and eight feet seven inches of height. This tank does it on an 86 inch circle at 66 inches: seven feet of floor and five feet six inches of height. Same volume, same empty weight, and the choice between them is made by your building and by nothing else. If the ceiling, the duct or the mezzanine is what limits you, this is the tank. If the floor plan is what limits you and there is height to spare, that one is. The first three rows are one shell, and the sheet separates them only by the part numbers and names it prints on each; this record publishes a specific gravity rating of 1.9 with 15,846 pounds of max contents, and nothing on it describes a wall thickness, a layer count or a construction difference between the three, so this page describes none. Take a part number to us and we will confirm what that record carries in writing before an order is placed. The last two rows scale the decision. 6190000N42 holds 500 gallons at 64 by 64 by 63 inches and 120 pounds, which is the answer if the process turns over less than you first assumed. 8310000N42 holds 1250 gallons at 95 by 95 by 70 inches and 300 pounds, more volume for two thirds of a foot more height and nine inches more circle in each direction, which makes it the natural step up for exactly the same low-roof reason that brought you to this page. On the material rather than the shape, the article on when crosslinking matters for a chemistry duty is the read.

A seven inch opening on top and a thirty degree fall to the outlet

• The drain: the sheet gives a 30 degree cone, so the fall to the low point is published rather than inferred. That is a shallower angle than the steepest cones in the range and it is part of why this shell is only 66 inches tall; the two facts belong together on the same page.
• The outlet field: it reads 1 Manway / Lid, which names an opening and not a discharge. It is printed here exactly as it reads rather than turned into a pipe size. No outlet dimension, no thread, no bulkhead and no valve is published, so none is claimed. Tell us the line size you need to land, the valve type and the product, and we will confirm what this part number carries before anything is ordered.
• Carrying the pipework: valve, any reducer and the first run of pipe belong on their own steelwork off the stand and never on the tank, with a flexible connector at the first joint so pump vibration stays out of the wall.
• The opening on top: the manway field on this record reads 7 in and gives nothing else. No thread, no vent arrangement and no lid type is described beside that size, so none is stated here. If how you fill and inspect the tank depends on the top, ask us to confirm the detail against the part number before ordering.
• Structural detail: 4 tiedown lugs and 1 flange line, which is everything this record carries. No lifting lug, no ladder lug, no anchor specification and no bolt pattern is published, and none is stated.
• Ratings and blanks: a specific gravity rating of 1.9, 8,340 pounds of water at 1000 gallons, 15,846 pounds of max contents and a service limit of 100 F / 37 C. No inlet, no lid size, no warranty term and no NMFC number appears on the sheet.

Where this is a first cone bottom tank on a site, the 1000 gallon cone bottom tank buyer's guide works through stand, discharge, access and rinse routine in one place rather than leaving them to be discovered one at a time.

Greenhouses, low bays and anywhere the roof decides the tank

The buyer for this listing is usually somebody whose ceiling made the decision. A greenhouse or nursery range with low eaves and a feed system that empties between crops. A converted plant room with pipework already at head height and one clear bay left. A shed or lean-to where the roof slopes away over exactly the spot the tank has to go. A mezzanine deck with a fixed soffit above it. A mobile or containerised installation where the whole envelope is a fixed size. In all of them a thousand gallons is the volume the process wants and five feet six inches is the height the building allows, and this shell is the one that satisfies both. Once it is standing, the working day is the ordinary one for a cone: fill, hold, draw off, rinse, repeat, with somebody accountable for what is left in the vessel at the end of it. At 8,340 pounds of water a heel is a real volume rather than a detail, and the 30 degree fall on this sheet is what keeps it moving to one point. Two honest limits. The 1.9 figure is a wall rating: it describes how dense a liquid the wall is rated to hold and it says nothing at all about how your product behaves against polyethylene. Name the liquid, the concentration and the temperature it genuinely sits at through the year when you enquire, check it in our chemical compatibility reference before the fittings are specified, and let the chemistry decide the gaskets and the valve rather than the tank. The service limit reads 100 F / 37 C, which is worth checking against any warm make-up or hot rinse before the order rather than after it. The routine is short: confirm every stand foot is bearing before the first fill and again after it, walk the full circle of the tank when you inspect rather than reading the side you happen to stand on, rinse at the changeover while the vessel is still wet, and keep a written record of what went in and when.

Two plants on the sheet and one shipping state

This record names two plants, Chowchilla, California and Lincoln, Nebraska, while Nebraska is the only shipping state printed on it. The freight class field reads 400, a numeric class rather than a mode, the ship mode reads LTL, and no NMFC number is published. It shipments at 86 inches by 86 inches by 66 inches at 210 pounds, which is a wide package at a light weight, and that is the combination LTL pricing likes least. Price the lane to your own ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. It travels lying down and somebody stands it up at your end. This sheet publishes no crane, no rigging, no permit and no escort detail, so none is stated here; agree the offload equipment and the delivery window with us before the truck is booked rather than improvising on the tail lift. Have the stand set, levelled and anchored before the tank arrives, because a cone bottom tank with nowhere to stand is an obstruction rather than an asset. Sling under the body and never by the opening on top, and keep the tank restrained from the moment it is upright, because seven feet of empty shell takes wind faster than its weight suggests. Then prove the installation with clean water: hold the 8,340 pound load, read the cone joint, the four tiedown lugs, the stand feet and the pad edge in that order, and leave it standing full overnight before a line is connected. Write the date of that first fill on the record you keep with the tank. Tape a copy of the spec sheet inside the control panel door; the next person to touch the tank will not have the box it came in.
