Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank with ASTM Certification

Buying the wall the liquid needs, on the low base

A tank's specific gravity rating is the density of the heaviest liquid its wall is sized to hold for its service life, and most of what a small plant stores sits well under a 1.35 wall, so this grade carries water, brine and hypochlorite as delivered with margin at 400 pounds of resin. The certification is against ASTM D1998, and the way a tank meets it is in the wall; the HDPE tank wall thickness guide explains the sizing logic and why the headspace is where a wall ages. Full, it puts 29,190 pounds on a 96 inch circle at the rating, which a compacted gravel pad or a slab in full contact carries, and the wide base sits low enough that no strap is needed. The 2,500 gallon vertical tank buyers guide walks through the competing shapes at this volume; the tank sizing calculator tells you whether 2,500 gallons covers the draw, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.

Snyder's 2,000 to 2,650 gallon verticals

The 5090000 tanks hold the same 2,500 gallons on a 90 inch base 9 inches taller, the N43 and N45 in the certified 1.5 and 1.9 walls, the C26 and C37-BLACK in the general grade in white and black. The 5050000C26 is the general 2,000 on that base, and the 8390000C26 holds 2,650 gallons on a 102 inch base at nearly this height.

Ports and access

• Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway; filled by hose or truck through a dip tube, vented outside on anything that fumes.
• Outlet: specify the bulkhead fitting for the liquid when ordering; a short flexible section after the bulkhead, and the valve supported from the pad rather than the tank.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
• Listing: ASTM certification.

The white wall shows the level in daylight; a float switch for low level protects a pump, and the low shape keeps the suction flooded to the last few inches. On hypochlorite, shade the tank and buy at short turnover. In a cold climate the outlet valve and the first run of pipe are insulated or drained; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.

Typical duty

Well storage under a lower roof, hypochlorite or brine at a small plant that needs the certification on file, a rain cistern under a large roof, and a fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes, where the low center of gravity counts. One liquid per tank, labeled.

Freight to your ZIP

At 96 inches across the 5090300N39 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600-01) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator gives the flatbed number for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks sets 400 pounds on the pad. Water to the manway once, a hold, the outlet fitting checked, and the certification paperwork filed with the job. A photo of the tank on its pad, full, on day one is worth keeping; it is the baseline every later inspection is compared against.
