Snyder Industries 200 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Floor space traded for height

A 33 inch circle is a small footprint for 200 gallons. This is the tank for a crowded room: the gap between two skids, the corner beside a pump set, a containment area that is already mostly full. The price of that footprint is height. At 69 inches the top is above most people's eye level, so plan a step platform or a pump for filling, and a level gauge, because a black wall hides the liquid.

The wall is cross-linked polyethylene, XLPE, whose polymer chains are bonded together during moulding. That gives a tougher wall with better resistance to stress cracking than standard polyethylene and a 140 F service limit. Our guide to when cross-linking matters for chemical duty sets out when that is worth having. Black blocks light, which protects liquids that degrade in sunlight and keeps algae out of stored water. Check any liquid other than water in our chemical compatibility guide before it goes in.

Stored as a water reserve outdoors, a tall black tank warms in the sun and can freeze in winter; the rural water reserve and freeze protection guide covers both.

What to check before you buy

1. Restraint. Nearly six feet of tank on a base under three feet across has a high centre of weight. Band it to a wall, a frame or anchors while it is still empty, and check the bands after the first week in service.
2. The base. All 3,169 lb of a full dense load bears on that 33 inch circle. It needs a flat, level, continuous surface; the concrete pad sizing guide explains the reasoning.
3. The openings. No outlet or manway size is confirmed for this tank on this page. Tell us the connections you need and we will confirm the outlet and the top opening from Snyder's drawing before it ships.
4. Headroom inside. Leave space at the top for expansion; the freeboard and usable volume guide shows the method.
5. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for 8020000N48 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

ASTM in the name is Snyder's heavy duty designation; no ASTM standard number is listed for this tank here, so ask us for Snyder's written confirmation if your specification names one. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Marked Tree, Arkansas, 33 by 33 by 69 inches and 80 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. Measure the doors on the way in against the 33 inch diameter, and the ceiling where it stands against the 69 inch height plus room to open the top. At the tailgate, check the part number against 8020000N48 on the bill of lading, look it over for transit damage, and note any damage on the paperwork before you sign. Fill it with water first and check the base, the bands and the connections before it carries anything else.
