The Snyder Industries 10000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Double Wall Tank (SKU 1006600N48) is a large-volume double wall tank molded in black crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) and rated to a specific gravity of 1.9. The crosslinked resin gives the shell a tougher structural wall than standard single-layer polyethylene, which is what supports that high 1.9 SG rating in a containment design. It stands 226 inches tall on a 142 x 142 inch square footprint, and the outer wall serves as built-in secondary containment for the inner tank. If you have been searching for a 10000 gallon Snyder XLPE double wall tank in black, this is the unit.
Will it work for your site
Plan your pad and structure around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water this tank carries roughly 83,400 lb, and at its full 1.9 specific gravity rating the contents can reach about 158,460 lb. Running plain water, you sit well under that shell ceiling, which leaves real headroom for denser fluids up to the 1.9 rating. Either way the 142 x 142 inch footprint needs a properly engineered, level slab. Run your numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and review the Tank Sizing Guide before you pour, so freeboard and headspace are accounted for. For bulk-water or fire-reserve duty at a remote site, the guide on fire-water reservoir tank design and NFPA 22 sizing discipline is worth a read.
Fittings and access
The technical drawing on this page shows the fitting layout, which includes a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior inspection and service of the interstitial and inner walls. Confirm the flange bolt pattern, the manway gasket, and the threaded-fitting seal against the drawing before you order any mating hardware, because those seals are what preserve the double-wall integrity of this design. For deeper background, the guide on Snyder Captor double-wall freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 covers how thermal expansion and density affect usable volume, and the piece on wall thickness at the vapor-saturated headspace explains where premature failures tend to start.
The mistake to avoid
Do not undersize your foundation or your rigging. A tank this size and weight is not a set-it-anywhere job; the 1.9 SG rating is what the shell can hold, so your slab, anchoring, and offload equipment must be matched to the full 158,460 lb contents figure, not the water weight alone. Interstitial monitoring and a correctly sealed manway are what keep the double-wall protection meaningful over the tank's life.
