Snyder Industries 150 Gallon ASTM HDPE Black Double Wall Tank

The same lane, the same class, a different sheet

Where this one ships from is the same story as its twin and worth knowing before anything else: Marked Tree, Arkansas, the only plant on the sheet, Arkansas the only ship-from state, LTL at class 250 with no NMFC number, and a shipment of 34 by 34 by 62 inches at 110 pounds. That is one pallet position, a tail lift on most lanes and a hand truck at your end, which makes this one of the few pieces of contained storage a site with no forklift can take delivery of unaided. Put the lane through the freight cost estimator for your own ZIP early, because the listed price is before freight and on a light shipment the distance is the variable that moves. What differs from the twin is on the sheet rather than on the truck. This part number is black, and a black wall keeps daylight out of the contents, which is the reason a site picks it over the natural white listing on the identical shell at the identical 110 pounds. It also carries its own service limit of 120 F / 48 C, and the white listing on that same shell carries a different figure on its own sheet. We print each against its own part number and never borrow across the pair, because the number that matters is the one on the part you actually order. The trade you make with the black shell is level indication. On a white tank an operator reads the liquid through the wall from across the room; on this one the only published opening is a 14 inch lid at 62 inches, so decide how the level gets read before the vessel is set rather than afterwards. The floor is the last piece. A 34 inch square base carrying a shell over five feet tall concentrates its load on under eight square feet: 1,251 pounds of water and 2,377 pounds at the published 1.9 rating. Flat, continuous and level under the whole footprint, nothing packed under a corner, and secured against being knocked if it stands in a walkway, because a slim tall vessel is the one a pallet truck catches. Two references belong with the order. A polyethylene wall's hardest service is at the vapor line rather than under the liquid, and the wall thickness at the vapor saturated headspace guide explains why an inspection from the liquid side misses it. The usable volume on a contained tank is not the nameplate figure either, which the double wall freeboard sizing guide works through. Size it against your own turnover with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide. Where the duty is private fire water storage instead, the fire water reservoir design guide for rural and remote sites is where that belongs, and nothing here is a claim about it.

One sixty-two inch shell listed four ways

Four part numbers, one shell, and the sheet explains none of the names it gives them. One of the four is listed with a suffix the sheet does not expand into a product name at all, so we print the part number and leave it there rather than guessing what it means. Where a drawing, a spares list or an existing installation already names one of these parts, order that one and we will confirm the published figures against it before anything ships; where it does not, describe the product and the strength and we will do the naming. What this table settles for you is color and height. This listing is black and the natural white one beside it is not, which is a decision about daylight rather than about chemistry, with the level reading as the thing you give up. Height is the other axis, and it is the more interesting one here because the plan never moves. The 120 gallon row is this same 34 inch square at 51 inches and 100 pounds; the 250 gallon row is the same square at 83 inches and 150 pounds. Three capacities, one footprint. Whatever corner you have reserved will take any of the three, so the capacity question is entirely about how high you can go and how far you can reach, not about floor at all. That is worth knowing before you settle. If the ceiling is open and a low step is acceptable, the taller row gives you more working stock for the same ground and the same lane. If the space has something overhead, the shorter row keeps the whole installation under it. This middle shell is the compromise most sites take, and in black it is the one that goes where the light is not controlled.

Height or floor the limit? The table has both shapes; freight to your ZIP is quoted on each row, or call 866-418-1777 with the site.

Filling through a lid at sixty-two inches

• The fill opening: a 14 inch threaded vented lid, the only opening this sheet publishes, doing duty as the fill point, the inspection point and the cleaning access. Fourteen inches accepts a fill coupling, a drop pipe and a lance, and everything you want on top shares it.
• Reaching it: the lid is at 62 inches. On a black shell you cannot read the level from the floor either, so the access arrangement and the level indication belong in the same drawing rather than in two separate ones.
• The outlet field: "1 Manway / Lid" and nothing else, with the inlet field blank. That names an opening, not a pipe size, and no outlet dimension, thread, flange or valve is published or claimed. Give us the duty and the line size and we will confirm what this part number carries.
• The vent: the lid is listed as vented, and that path is the wall's protection on a fast fill and a hard pump down. Keep it clear and look at it every time the lid comes off.
• The space between the walls: no monitoring port, gauge or alarm is published, and no stand, legs or level device either. A scheduled look with the date written down is the minimum worth having.
• Structure: the sheet publishes no lifting lugs, no ladder lugs and no flange lines on this part number.
• Limits: 120 F / 48 C, a specific gravity rating of 1.9, and a 3 Year Warranty, as this sheet gives them.

Name the product at order time. The lid seal and any fitting we add are selected against the chemistry, and on a contained vessel those parts are the only route a release can take.

Canopies, open shutters and yard-side feed points

A black contained tank of this size goes where a white one would be working against the light: a dosing point under an open canopy, a wash bay with the shutter up all day, an agricultural or horticultural chemical store, a plant room with a skylight over it, a quarry or wash plant reagent station, a finishing line beside a window, and yard-side feed points where the vessel stands outdoors but a release still has to be contained. One hundred and fifty gallons on a 34 inch square is the practical part: it takes the corner nobody was using, it needs no bund constructed round it, and one person can receive it. Where it stands outside, walk round it after weather and after any traffic near it, and keep the schedule for looking into the space between the walls the same in winter as in summer. Arrange the level indication deliberately, because the wall gives you none.

The first hour after it lands

The shipping size is 34 by 34 by 62 inches at 110 pounds, LTL at class 250 with no NMFC number, out of Marked Tree, Arkansas; price the lane with the freight cost estimator and note that the listed price is before freight. What you do in the first hour sets the next ten years. Take it under the base, never by the lid, and check the doorway before you start moving rather than halfway through it. Set it on the finished, level surface exactly where it will live, plumb in two directions, secured if it is near traffic, and connect nothing yet. Fill it with clean water, hold the 1,251 pound load and read the lid seal and the whole base line in good light. Drain it, let it dry and open the space between the walls. Then, because the shell is black, mark the outside at your working full level and your stop level in paint while the water is still in it, and write the date of that first inspection beside the part number. From that day on those marks are the only level indication anybody standing at the tank is going to get. The vent screen is the cheapest part on the tank and the one that saves it; look at it every time the manway opens.
