Snyder Industries 1650 Gallon XLPE Heavy Duty Cone Bottom Tank

Bought for dense product held out of the light

Two things bring a plant to this part number rather than to its white twin, and neither of them is the tank itself. The first is what is going in it. The wall carries a specific gravity rating of 1.9 and the sheet gives 26,146 pounds of max contents against 13,761 pounds of water, which is the band a site needs when the product is heavier than water: a concentrated mineral or salt solution, a heavy liquid fertiliser blend, a thickened or solids-bearing liquid, a process intermediate that carries material in suspension. At 1650 gallons those are the products that punish a flat bottomed vessel hardest, because what settles out is exactly what a pump cannot reach, and the 30 degree fall published on this sheet is the answer to it. The second is light. A black wall is opaque, so nothing grows in a water system over a season and nothing reaches a product specified to be kept dark, and that matters on an outdoor pad, in a yard, under roof lights, beside a translucent panel wall or in a glazed service area. The trade is worth stating rather than glossing: you cannot read the level through a black wall, so the level has to be instrumented or measured, and that decision belongs before the tank is standing rather than after. The shape decides where it lands. The circle is 86 inches, a little over seven feet, and the shell is 94 inches, seven feet ten inches, so this buys its volume upward on a footprint that does not change from the shorter tanks on the same circle. Stack the heights before ordering: the stand, plus 94 inches of shell, plus the clearance above the opening on top for a person and a fill line, all measured to the lowest fixed object over the spot rather than to the roof. Underneath, the cone has to discharge into something, and the room lost down there cannot be bought back once the structure is set. That structure is a separate purchase. There is no flat floor on this tank, it cannot stand on its own bottom, and this sheet publishes no stand, no legs, no skirt, no support ring and no bolt pattern, so no stand height, load or material appears on this page. The loads the structure carries are published: 300 pounds of empty tank, 13,761 pounds of water and 26,146 pounds at the rating, concentrated at stand feet inside an 86 inch circle. Settle it against the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix before a part number is fixed, size the volume with the tank sizing calculator, and take the freeboard discipline from the tank sizing guide.

Reading the sixteen fifty group by colour, material and circle

Cover the part numbers and the top four rows are indistinguishable: identical gallons, identical circle, identical height, identical weight. Three things separate them and all three are on the sheet rather than in an interpretation. This listing is black and 1910000N42 is natural white, which is the light question and the level-reading question in one. SII-1910000N45 carries a name that reads 30 Degree HDPE in white, not cross-linked, so it is a different material on the same dimensions and we will not call it anything its own name does not. 1910000N51 is a further listing on the same shell, and if it is the one you need, take the part number to us and we will confirm what that record carries in writing. Nothing on this sheet describes a wall thickness, a layer count or a construction difference between the four, so this page describes none. The last two rows are where the sizing conversation actually happens. 8330000N42 gives up fifty gallons and takes 95 by 95 by 72 inches at 277 pounds: a wider circle and close to two feet shorter, which is the tank when the roof is the binding constraint. 5070000N40 holds 2000 gallons at 90 by 90 by 102 inches and 325 pounds, more volume bought with more height again. This listing sits between them as the one that adds volume without widening the floor area, which is why it so often replaces a smaller tank in a spot that is already prepared. Where the material rather than the shape is the real question, the article on when crosslinking matters for a chemistry duty is the read.

The lugs, the seven inch opening and the outlet field as printed

• The discharge: a 30 degree cone is published on this sheet, so the fall to the low point is stated rather than inferred. On a dense or solids-bearing product that angle is the reason this shape is bought at all, because nothing is allowed to settle where a pump cannot reach it.
• The outlet field: it reads 1 Manway / Lid. That names an opening, not a discharge, and it is printed here exactly as it reads rather than converted into a pipe size. No outlet dimension, no thread, no bulkhead and no valve is published, so none is claimed. Tell us the line size, the valve type and the product, and we will confirm what this part number carries before an order is placed.
• Supporting the pipework: valve, reducer and the first run of pipe belong on their own steelwork off the stand and never on the tank, with a flexible connector at the first joint so pump vibration stays out of the wall. With 26,146 pounds of rated contents above it, the bottom of a full column is the wrong place for dead weight.
• The opening on top: the manway field reads 7 in and nothing else, so no thread, vent arrangement or lid type is stated here. At 94 inches plus the stand it is above head height in every installation; plan the platform or fixed ladder and the fall protection with the structure, and bring the fill to a coupling at working level.
• Structural detail: 4 tiedown lugs and 1 flange line, which is the whole of what this record carries. No lifting lug, no ladder lug, no anchor specification and no bolt pattern is published, and none is stated.
• Ratings and blanks: a specific gravity rating of 1.9, 13,761 pounds of water at 1650 gallons, 26,146 pounds of max contents and a service limit of 100 F / 37 C. No inlet, no lid size, no warranty term and no NMFC number appears on the record.

An opaque wall makes the level instrument part of the specification rather than an accessory, and the level gauge selection guide works through radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic and magnetostrictive on how each one fails rather than on how each one is sold.

Sunlit yards, algae, and product that has to leave completely

The installations that ask for the black listing are the ones where the tank sees the sky. An outdoor dosing pad at a treatment works. A yard tank at an agricultural retailer feeding a fill point through a season. A skid in a building with roof lights or translucent panel walls. A greenhouse service area where the whole roof is glazing. A wash bay with a clear roof sheet. In water and water-based systems light is what turns a clean tank green over a summer, and an opaque wall removes that at the point of purchase rather than at the point of cleaning. For a product specified to be kept dark, the same wall does the job without a cover somebody has to remember to put back. Underneath the colour, the working case is the case for any 1650 gallon cone: a day's batch made up once, drawn down against a process, and emptied cleanly before the next one. At 13,761 pounds of water the heel a flat bottomed vessel would leave is a volume somebody has to account for, and on this shape it keeps running to one point instead. Two honest limits. The 1.9 figure is a wall rating and nothing more: it says how dense a liquid the wall is rated to hold and nothing about how your product behaves against polyethylene. Name the liquid, the concentration and the year-round temperature when you enquire, check it in our chemical compatibility reference before the fittings are specified, and let the chemistry choose the gaskets and the valve. The service limit reads 100 F / 37 C, which deserves a second look on exactly the installations this colour suits, because a tank standing outdoors in full sun is a different thermal problem from one in a plant room. And one habit that belongs only to a black shell: mark the tank clearly with what is in it, because nobody can tell from the outside and the person who needs to know is rarely the person who filled it.

Ninety-four inches shipped, class 400, two plants named

Two plants appear on this record, Chowchilla, California and Lincoln, Nebraska, with California and Nebraska both listed as shipping states, so there are two possible origins and the origin is most of the freight cost on a package this bulky. Ask us which plant is supplying before you plan a lane. The freight class field reads 400, a numeric class rather than a mode, the ship mode reads LTL, and no NMFC number is published. The shipping size is listed at 86 inches by 86 inches by 94 inches at 300 pounds: seven feet ten inches of package at a weight that flatters its size, which is the shape LTL pricing likes least. Price your own ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. It travels lying down and somebody stands it up at your end, so nominate the machine and the person for that before the truck is booked rather than deciding it on the tail lift. This sheet publishes no crane, no rigging, no permit and no escort detail, and none is stated here; settle the offload equipment and the delivery window with us in advance. Have the stand set, levelled and anchored first, sling under the body rather than by the opening on top, and keep the tank restrained from the moment it is upright. Then fill with clean water before product, hold the 13,761 pound load, and read the cone joint, the four tiedown lugs, the stand feet and the ground around the pad in daylight rather than under a torch. Leave it standing full overnight and look again in the morning. Then photograph the tank standing full on day one and file it with the paperwork, because on a black shell a photograph is the only baseline anybody will have to compare against later. Keep one spare gasket for the outlet fitting on the shelf; it is the part that fails on a holiday.
