The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Heavy Duty Cone Bottom Tank (SKU 5070000N51) is a full-drain black cone tank molded in High Density Linear Polyethylene with a 1.9 specific gravity rating, the heavy-duty resin band that lets it hold dense chemicals most 1.5-rated cone tanks cannot. It stands 102 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint, and the cone geometry drains the vessel completely so there is no heel left behind at the bottom. If you are searching for a 2000 gallon cone bottom tank or a black Snyder cone tank for aggressive chemical service, this is the vessel built for it.
Will it work for your application?
This cone bottom tank holds 2000 gallons and weighs 16,680 pounds full of water. Because it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, it is rated to support contents weighing up to 31,692 pounds, so you can fill it with chemicals far denser than water without exceeding the wall design. Confirm your product's specific gravity against that 1.9 ceiling before you order; that single number is the most common cone-tank mistake. At 1.9 SG this tank sits at the top of Snyder's heavy-duty HDLPE band, and there is no denser polyethylene cone above it, so if your chemical exceeds 1.9 specific gravity you need a different material entirely, not a heavier poly tank. The tank ships with a flange outlet, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access. That 15-inch access governs the maximum size of any internal equipment, so confirm your mixer, agitator, or dip-tube insert clears 15 inches before ordering. The cone bottom requires a matching stand to hold the vessel upright and let it gravity-drain; see the technical drawing on this page for fitting positions and dimensions, and our Cone Bottom Tank Stand Compatibility Matrix for stand pairing. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm capacity and headroom for your site.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is molded in HDLPE and rated to 1.9 specific gravity. The fitting and gasket materials below are concentration- and temperature-specific, so verify your exact concentration and operating temperature against an OEM chemical-resistance chart before committing. Two patterns matter most when you spec hardware: most chemicals here use PVC or PP fittings, but DEF, peracetic acid, propylene glycol, and zinc orthophosphate require 316 stainless. On gaskets, oxidizers and strong acids in this list (hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrofluosilicic acid, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid, sodium hypochlorite, and sulfuric acid) require Viton, peracetic acid requires Aflas, and everything else is EPDM. Ordering the wrong gasket is the second-most-common failure after specific gravity.
Compatible chemicals and the recommended fitting and gasket materials include: Acetic Acid (60%, PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets), Aluminum Sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM), Calcium Chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM), DEF (32.5%, 316SS, EPDM), Ethylene Glycol (100%, PVC, EPDM), Ferric Chloride (50%, PVC, EPDM), Ferric Sulfate (60%, PVC, EPDM), Ferrous Sulfate (20%, PVC, EPDM), Hydrochloric Acid (37%, PVC, Viton), Hydrofluoric Acid (48%, PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%, PP/PVC, Viton), Hydrogen Peroxide (50%, PVC, Viton), Magnesium Chloride (30%, PVC, EPDM), Peracetic Acid (30%, 316SS, Aflas), Phosphoric Acid (85%, PVC, Viton), Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM), Potassium Carbonate (50%, PVC, EPDM), Potassium Hydroxide (saturated, PVC, EPDM), Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS, EPDM), Sodium Bisulfate (PVC/PP, EPDM), Sodium Bisulfite (PVC/PP, EPDM), Sodium Carbonate (30%, PVC, EPDM), Sodium Hypochlorite (under 16.5%, PVC, Viton), Sodium Thiosulfate (40%, PVC, EPDM), Sulfuric Acid (98%, CPVC, Viton), Urea Solution (50%, PP/PVC, EPDM), Zinc Orthophosphate (PP/316SS, EPDM), and Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM, PVC, EPDM — no dedicated page yet, see the full database). Match the fitting and gasket material to your chemical, and check the full Chemical Compatibility Database before ordering.
