10,500 gallons of chemical storage at 1.35 specific gravity
The Snyder 5330100N39 is a white high density linear polyethylene vertical chemical storage tank, 142 inches across and 169 inches tall, holding 10,500 gallons at 2,500 pounds. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.35, or 122,598 pounds of contents against 87,570 for water, which covers brine, hypochlorite and most coagulants as delivered at 1,500 pounds less resin than the 1.9 wall in the same shell. An 18 inch manway on top, and it ships as oversize freight.

Buying the wall the liquid needs
A tank's specific gravity rating is the density of the heaviest liquid its wall is sized to hold for its service life, and most of what a water plant stores by the tanker sits well under a 1.35 wall, so this grade carries those liquids with margin without paying for the heavy walls that ferric at strength and concentrated acid need. Below is the resin's rated chemistry; check the liquid at its concentration in the chemical compatibility database, because carrying the weight and resisting the chemical are separate properties of the wall. A single wall tank of regulated chemical needs a berm sized to its volume; the Snyder Captor 110 percent containment comparison covers when a double wall tank is the cleaner answer than a basin. The tank sizing calculator sizes the tank from feed rate and delivery interval; the tank sizing guide covers the reserve; a tank of two tanker loads takes a delivery with a full reserve still in the bottom.
Grades on the 142 x 169 inch tank, and the sizes beside it
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5330100N39 (this tank, 1.35 SG) | 10,500 | 142 x 169 in | 2,500 lb |
| 5330000N43 (1.5 SG, ASTM certified) | 10,500 | 142 x 169 in | 2,500 lb |
| 5330000N45 (1.9 SG, ASTM certified) | 10,500 | 142 x 169 in | 3,100 lb |
| 5330100N45 (1.9 SG) | 10,500 | 142 x 169 in | 4,000 lb |
| 5330000N30 (sulfuric grade, 1.9 SG) | 10,500 | 142 x 169 in | 4,000 lb |
| 1006400N52 (double wall, 1.9 SG) | 8,700 | 142 x 197 in | 6,000 lb |
| 5350000N33 | 12,000 | 142 x 198 in | 3,100 lb |
The certified 5330000N43 is the 1.5 wall at this tank's weight for a job that needs the paper. The 5330000N45 and 5330100N45 are the 1.9 walls for ferric at strength and the heavy brines, and the 5330000N30 is the sulfuric acid resin. The 1006400N52 is the double wall for a site with no berm, 8,700 gallons at 197 inches, and the 5350000N33 is the 12,000 gallon step up at 198 inches.

Openings, sampling and labels
- Access: 18 inch manway, 169 inches up; vent outside on caustic and hypochlorite service, fill through a dip tube, and size the vent for a tanker's unload rate.
- Outlet: order the bulkhead fitting in the material the chemical calls for; a flanged transition, an expansion joint, and a valve supported off the slab.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Three practices make a bulk chemical tank a safe one. Choose the level sender for the chemical with the level gauge selection guide; hypochlorite is hard on wetted parts, and a sender read at ground level keeps everyone off the platform. Draw samples that represent the tank and not its stratified top, per the bulk tank chemical sampling protocol. And label it so the fire inspector and the workplace inspector read the same thing, NFPA 704 diamond and GHS pictograms reconciled as the tank label and signage compliance guide describes. Full, the tank loads a 142 inch circle to 122,598 pounds at the rating: an engineered slab in full contact under the whole floor, inside a berm, with the empty tank strapped against wind and the manway reached from a fixed platform on its own footings.
Taking a tanker load
A tanker unloads faster than the manway can breathe, so the vent is sized for the pump or the fill takes a dedicated top bulkhead with its own vent. A fill pipe to the floor keeps the liquid from free-falling and foaming. The first delivery into a new tank is watched from start to finish, with the slab edge and the outlet fitting checked as the level climbs, and the log takes the date and strength of every load that follows; for hypochlorite the log is also the turnover schedule, because it loses strength with every warm week in the tank.
Who buys this tank
Hypochlorite, brine and coagulant bulk storage at large water and wastewater plants with a berm, and any regulated liquid of moderate density at plant scale at a site an inspector visits. One chemical per tank, labeled for both inspectors at once, manway closed against vapor loss, and the tank shaded where the chemical degrades in light.

Delivery day
At 142 inches across and 169 inches long on the deck the 5330100N39 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate, with an escort on most routes; the freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP; the figure listed here is before freight. A crane sets 2,500 pounds upright on the slab. Water-fill it once to the manway, hold it, and check the outlet fitting before the first chemical delivery. Keep the delivery paperwork with the tank; the serial number on the shell is what a warranty claim starts from.
