The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank ships from the Snyder plant in Marked Tree, Arkansas, built from high-density linear polyethylene and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. It measures 90 inches in diameter by 88 inches tall and holds 2,000 gallons on a 90.0 x 90.0 inch footprint. If you have been searching for a 2000 gallon vertical storage tank or an HDPE storage tank from Snyder, this white vertical anchors that size class.
Will it hold what you are putting in it?
Filled with plain water, this tank weighs about 16,680 lb, so the pad and any structure beneath it have to carry that load before you account for the liquid you actually store. The 1.9 specific-gravity rating means the shell is engineered for a maximum rated contents weight of 31,692 lb. In plain terms, it carries roughly 31,692 lb of contents versus about 16,680 lb of water, so it is over-built for water and gives you genuine density headroom up to SG 1.9 if your service liquid is heavier than water. Confirm the actual specific gravity of your liquid against the 1.9 rating before you fill, because under-rating the tank to its contents is the single most common sizing mistake on vertical storage tanks. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide walk through capacity, footprint, and weight-to-pad planning.
Fittings, access, and venting
This tank comes configured with a flange, an 18 inch PE threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 15 inch access for inspection, cleaning, and gauging. That 15 inch access is the gating dimension for anything you drop through the manway: if a submersible pump, mixer shaft, or instrument will not pass a 15 inch opening, it will not go in that way, so verify it before you order. On the vent side, size your actual demand, thermal inbreathing and outbreathing plus your fill and draw rate, against the API 2000 worked examples in the atmospheric vent capacity calculations guide before you rely on the supplied vented fitting. Check the technical drawing on this page for fitting positions and manway geometry to scale, and confirm gasket and bolt-kit availability for the flange and manway for your service before install. Call 866-418-1777 if you need to confirm what ships with the tank.
What to plan for before delivery
For the wall behavior behind a rating like this, the HDPE tank wall thickness piece explains the ASTM D1998 sizing logic that produces the 1.9 SG number. If this tank is going into rural fire-protection storage, the fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection for a vertical this size.
