Snyder Industries 1500 Gallon Heavy Duty Cone Bottom Tank

The tall column against the wide sixteen hundred

Its own sheet sets the case out plainly. 8330000N42 holds 1,600 gallons, a hundred more than this tank, on a 95 inch circle at 72 inches tall. This one holds 1,500 gallons on a 64 inch circle at 141 inches tall. Same job, same family, opposite buildings. A 64 inch circle is five feet four inches of floor, which is less ground than a lot of pallet positions, so on a congested plant floor or inside a tight bund this shell fits where the wide one simply cannot be set down. What it asks for in return is every inch of height: 141 inches of shell before anything holds it up, then the stand underneath all of it, then working clearance above the manway. Do that addition in the actual room, against the lowest fixed obstruction rather than the ridge, because a sprinkler main, a crane rail or a duct run is what decides this and it is never the thing people measure first. If the answer is negative, the honest fix is a different shell, not a shorter stand, because a cone still has to discharge into something and the clearance underneath is what a drum, a tote or a pump needs. The other thing this sheet gives you and the wide tanks do not is a published cone angle: 45 degrees, which is steeper than the common middle angle and is the reason people buy this shape for product that does not want to move on its own. Then the rating. At 1.9 with 23,769 pounds of max contents, this is a listing for product heavier than water; if yours is not, a lower rated shell is the more honest buy and we would rather sell you that. Under all of it, a cone bottom vessel has no flat floor and cannot stand on its own bottom. This sheet publishes no stand, no legs, no skirt, no ring and no bolt pattern, so the support is a separate item with its own lead time and no stand height, rated load or stand material is stated here. Narrow circles concentrate load more than wide ones do, so the 315 pounds of empty tank, 12,510 pounds of water and 23,769 pounds at the rating all arrive through a handful of feet inside five feet four inches, and that is engineered ground every time. Work the structure out with the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix, read the complete buyer's guide at this capacity and angle, size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

Three fifteen hundreds, a fourteen hundred and a wider sixteen hundred

Four rows are the same 1,500 gallon column at 315 pounds, and the sheet separates them by name, by colour and by one oddity worth pointing at rather than explaining: SII-5010000N45 is listed at 140.75 inches where the others are listed at 141. That is what the sheet says, so that is what we print, and no theory about it appears on this page. Two of the four are spelled with the SII- prefix on this sheet and two are not; again, printed as given. The two white listings are the ones to look at if an operator wants to read the liquid line from outside, and this black listing is the one for a tank that lives outdoors in sun. The bottom two rows are the shape decision. 1900000N42 drops to 1,400 gallons but comes down to 80 inches tall on an 86 inch circle at 245 pounds, which is the version that goes under a low roof. 8330000N42 goes the other way again, buying 1,600 gallons at just 72 inches tall and paying for it with a 95 inch circle. Line the three heights up and the pattern is obvious: on this sheet, every gallon you gain at low height costs you floor, and every foot of floor you save costs you ceiling. Decide which of the two your site is actually short of before you look at capacity at all, then let the rating and the cone angle settle the rest.

Forty-five degrees under an eighteen inch vented lid

• The vented lid: an 18 inch threaded vented manway, with the vent part of the top fitting on this sheet rather than a separate line item. On a tall column being pumped from the bottom, that air path is the wall's protection, not a nicety. Keep it clear, check it whenever the tank is opened, and never blank, tape or paint over it.
• Reaching it: the lid sits at 141 inches plus the stand, which is a fixed ladder, a platform and a fall protection plan drawn with the structure rather than bolted on afterwards. Land the fill line at a coupling at working level so nobody climbs with a hose.
• The cone: published at 45 degrees. That is a steep cone, and it is the reason this shape is bought for product that settles, thickens or carries solids that would sit in a shallower geometry. It is also why the shell is tall for its volume; the steeper the cone, the more of the height goes into the drain rather than the storage.
• The outlet field: it reads 1 Manway / Lid, which names an opening rather than a discharge. Printed as it reads, with no outlet size, thread, bulkhead or valve claimed. Tell us the line size, the valve type and the product and we will confirm what this part number carries before anything is ordered.
• Underneath: valve, any reducer and the first pipe run carried on steelwork off the stand, never on the tank, with a flexible connector at the first joint. A full column of this height puts real static head on that point, with 23,769 pounds of rated contents above it.
• Inlet, warranty and NMFC: none published on this sheet, none claimed here. Ratings are a specific gravity of 1.9, 12,510 pounds of water at 1,500 gallons, 23,769 pounds of max contents, and 100 F / 37 C.

On a vessel this tall the level instrument is the only honest picture of what is in the top third of it, and retrofitting one to the top of a twelve foot tank costs more than choosing the right one did: the level gauge selection guide for chemical service compares radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic and magnetostrictive on the things that go wrong rather than the things that sell.

Product that settles, in a footprint that does not spread

The steep cone and the narrow circle point at one kind of buyer: somebody with a dense or settling product and no floor to spare. Mineral and wash plant slurry handling, thickened sludge and dewatering feed at a treatment works, concentrated salt and brine solutions, spent acid and pickling liquor in a metals plant, heavy fertiliser blends at an agricultural retailer working in a tight yard, and chemical batch make-up where the vessel changes product and has to leave nothing behind. A 45 degree cone keeps material moving toward the low point that a shallower geometry would let sit, and the 1.9 rating is what lets you fill it with something heavier than water. One caution that belongs to the shape rather than the tank: a tall slender column stratifies more readily than a wide shallow one, so if your product separates, the draw point and the mixing arrangement matter more here than they would in the 1,600 gallon shell listed beside it. Plan both together. Settle the chemistry first in our chemical compatibility reference so the gasket and valve choice follows the product.

Three hundred and fifteen pounds, lying down for the road

Moulded at Lincoln, Nebraska, so the plains and the Midwest are the short lanes and either coast is the long one. The freight class reads 400, a numeric class rather than a mode, and the sheet publishes no NMFC number. The shipping size is 64 inches by 64 inches by 141 inches at 315 pounds, and a shell that tall travels lying down, which means somebody stands it up at your end. That standing operation is the part of delivery day that goes wrong when nobody has planned it, so plan it. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. No crane, rigging, permit or escort detail is published on this sheet and none is stated here; agree the offload equipment and the window with us before the truck is booked. Have the stand set, levelled and anchored first, because a cone bottom tank standing in your yard is a tank taking up the space you needed. Sling under the body, never by the manway, and keep it restrained from the moment it comes upright: a tall empty shell catches wind like a sail. Prove it with clean water before product, holding the 12,510 pound load, and read the seal, the cone joint and the stand feet in daylight. Then walk the base again after the first hard rain, because ground that is going to settle under a narrow, concentrated load shows it at the edge of the pad first. Walk the base after the first hard rain; a pad that shifts shows it at the edge first.
