Snyder Industries 1500 Gallon 45 Degree HDPE Cone Bottom Tank in White

Nothing under it but the stand you specify

Where this tank sits is the first question and the sheet does not answer it. A cone bottom tank has no flat floor to stand on, and this sheet lists no stand, no legs, no skirt and no support ring, so the support is a separate item specified before the tank is ordered and not after it is on the ground. That is not a footnote. The whole load path runs from the cone into a structure you are buying separately, and the numbers it carries are 315 pounds of empty tank, 12,510 pounds of water and 23,769 pounds at the rating the sheet publishes. All of that arrives on a 64 inch circle of ground. The pad or foundation under the stand is an engineered element, not a slab poured to suit the drawing, and it wants to be flat, level and cured before delivery day. The height is the other constraint and it is unforgiving indoors. This tank is listed 140.75 inches tall on its own, and the stand adds to that before anything else does, so the measurement that matters at a site survey is from the finished floor to the lowest obstruction over the tank position, taken with the stand height already in hand. Outdoors, a slender column on a small circle wants restraint and a wind exposure someone has actually looked at rather than assumed. Do the volume work before the structure is drawn around it: run the batch size and turnover through the tank sizing calculator, take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide, and read the 1500 gallon 45 degree cone bottom tank buyer's guide, which is written around this exact volume and this exact angle. Where the vessel stands over ground, a floor or a drain that would have to be recovered after a release, the Captor containment comparison argues the containment question honestly rather than assuming it away.

Four fifteen hundreds on one circle, and two wider tanks

Four tanks on this sheet hold 1500 gallons on the same 64 inch circle at the same 315 pounds, and the only dimensional difference the sheet shows is that this one is listed at 140.75 inches where the other three read 141. A quarter of an inch is what the sheet gives and it is all we will print; the names differ, the numbers barely do, and where a drawing, a spares list or an existing installation names a part, match that part rather than argue with it. The rows worth studying are the last two. The 1400 gallon 1900000N42 puts almost the same volume on an 86 inch circle only 80 inches tall at 245 pounds, and the 1600 gallon 8330000N42 puts more volume on a 95 inch circle 72 inches tall at 277 pounds. Both are around half the height of this tank and both are lighter empty. What they cost is floor: 86 and 95 inches across against 64 here, which in a tight chemical room or a process bay is a different building. And what they give up is the steep bottom. A 45 degree cone is the steepest of the common angles and it is bought for one reason, which is that the vessel has to run out completely and keep running out as it empties, whatever the product is doing on the way down. If your duty is a buffer volume that never has to go dry, take the width and save the height. If the vessel is batched out between products, take the height and take this tank.

The cone discharge the sheet does not dimension

• The discharge: this sheet publishes no outlet size and no bulkhead. The cone ends in a discharge and the sheet does not dimension it, so no number appears on this page. Give us the line size, the valve type and the product, and we will confirm what this part number carries before anything is ordered.
• The valve underneath: whatever goes on a cone discharge is carried on its own steelwork off the stand, never on the tank. At 23,769 pounds of rated contents the static load at the end of a full column is what punishes a hanging valve, and a flexible connector at the first joint keeps the pump's own movement away from the wall.
• Drain-down and dead volume: a 45 degree cone drains steeply and keeps draining, which is exactly what a product that thickens, settles or has to be changed out wants. That steepness is also what costs the height, so nobody should buy this angle for a duty that never empties.
• Access: an 18 inch threaded vented manway on top of a tank listed 140.75 inches tall, before the stand adds its own height. That is a platform, a fixed ladder and a fall protection plan designed alongside the stand rather than added afterwards, and it is the only opening the sheet publishes.
• The vent: the manway is listed as vented, and on a tall column being drawn from the bottom the vent path is what protects the wall. Keep it clear, inspect it on a schedule, and never blank it to stop a smell.
• Limits: 120 F / 48 C, a specific gravity rating of 1.9, 12,510 pounds of water and 23,769 pounds of max contents. There is no warranty term on this sheet.

The stand is not on this sheet and it is the item that decides the finished height, the anchor pattern and the clearance under the discharge, so settle it with us at the same time as the tank rather than a week later.

Batching, blending and a bottom that runs dry

A steep cone at this volume goes into batch make-up and blending, polymer and coagulant preparation at water and wastewater plants, slurry and suspension handling where solids must not be allowed to pack, agricultural blending and nurse duty where the vessel has to leave clean between products, food and beverage process work, and any operation that changes product in the same tank and cannot afford a heel in the bottom. The common thread is that the bottom of the vessel is where the work happens. A flat-floored tank of this size leaves a layer behind at every changeover, and at 1500 gallons that layer is not a nuisance, it is a cost with a disposal ticket attached. The tall, narrow shape adds one thing worth knowing: a deep column stratifies more readily than a shallow one, so if your product separates, the mixing arrangement and the draw-off point matter more than the tank does.

Oversize out of Nebraska at 315 pounds

This tank is moulded at Lincoln, Nebraska, and the sheet lists Nebraska as the state it ships from. The freight class reads OVS, an oversize mode rather than a numeric class, under NMFC 156600, and the shipping weight matches the tank at 315 pounds. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. An oversize move is booked rather than ordered: the route, the delivery window and the unloading arrangement are agreed before the tank leaves the plant. Three hundred and fifteen pounds is light for something this large and that is the trap, because two people can move it and so can a gust of wind. Keep it on its pallet, out of the wind, until the stand is set, levelled and anchored. Lift it by the body with slings and never by the manway. Stand it up onto the finished stand, secure it, then fill it with clean water and hold that 12,510 pound load while somebody reads the cone, the manway seal, the stand feet and the pad, in that order. The fill that proves the tank is the same fill that proves the structure under it, so do them together and do them before any product arrives. 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.
