Snyder Industries 2600 Gallon XLPE Heavy Duty Cone Bottom Tank

Headroom over a hundred and thirty-nine inches, and the ground under the stand

The number that decides where this tank lives is 139 inches, and it is the starting point rather than the finished one. A cone bottom tank has no flat floor and cannot stand on its own bottom, so a stand carries it and the stand goes underneath all of that height. This sheet publishes no stand, no legs, no skirt, no support ring and no bolt pattern, which means the support is a separate item with its own drawing and its own lead time, and no stand height, rated load or stand material appears on this page. Work it out before the tank is ordered rather than after it arrives, with the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix and a call to us to confirm the fit against this part number. Then the plant room arithmetic, which is where these decisions are actually made. Your total is the stand, plus 139 inches of shell, plus clearance over the manway for a person and a fill line, and separately the room under the cone for whatever the discharge feeds. Measure from the lowest fixed thing over the spot and work down; a sprinkler main or a crane rail settles this more often than the roof line does, and if the total does not clear, the honest fix is a shorter shell rather than a shorter stand, because clearance underneath is the whole point of a cone. On the ground, the pad takes 570 pounds of empty tank, 21,684 pounds of water and up to 41,200 pounds of rated contents, and on a cone all of it arrives through a handful of stand feet inside a 90 inch circle rather than spreading across a slab. That is designed ground with a bearing area at every foot, level and uniform, and on a 1.9 rated duty it is not a place to save money. Two details get forgotten at this height and both are free while the layout is on paper: clearance under the cone, which is the first thing a tight building takes away, and an aisle all the way round, because at seven and a half feet across nobody reaches the far side or the cone joint from one position. Size the volume before any of this with the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

One ninety inch circle, four listings, and the sizes either side

The first four rows are one shell listed four ways: 2,600 gallons, a 90 inch circle, 139 inches tall every time. The sheet separates them by empty weight and by the name it prints on each, 570 pounds on this listing and on the black one beside it, 500 pounds on the other two. It gives no account of that difference, so none is manufactured here; what it does publish for this listing is the 1.9 rating with 41,200 pounds of max contents, and that is the figure to hold your own product against. Work out what your liquid weighs per gallon before you compare part numbers, because that single figure moves the decision further than price does. If it is no heavier than water, the 500 pound listings are the right column and the difference stays in your pocket. Colour is the other split in the quad and it is a siting decision rather than a performance one. This listing is natural white, and a translucent wall lets an operator see roughly where the level sits in daylight without climbing anything, which on a 139 inch column is worth having. The black listings do the opposite and keep light out of the contents. The two outer rows keep the same 90 inch circle, which is the useful part: you can move up or down this ladder without redrawing the pad, the bund or the aisle. 5110000N40 gives you 2,500 gallons at 125 inches, over a foot of height handed back for a hundred gallons. 5150000N40 gives you 3,000 gallons at 144 inches on the same footprint if the building has the height. Where the crosslinked wall is itself the question rather than the shape, our read on XLPE against HDPE for chemistry duty is the place to start.

What the outlet field names, and what it does not dimension

• The outlet field: it reads 1 Manway / Lid on this sheet. That names an opening and not a discharge, and we print the field exactly as it reads instead of converting it into a pipe size. No outlet dimension, no thread, no bulkhead and no valve is published or claimed. Tell us the line size, the valve type and the product, and we will confirm what 5100000N42 carries before anything is ordered.
• At the low point: everything you hang at the bottom of a cone carries the column above it, and on this listing that column is allowed to reach 41,200 pounds. Support the valve, any reducer and the first pipe run on their own steelwork off the stand rather than on the tank, and put a flexible connector at the first joint so pump vibration never reaches the shell.
• Pumping dense product: a 1.9 rated liquid does not behave like water at the suction. Size the pump on the actual specific gravity rather than on the gallon figure, keep the run off the cone short, and expect the last of a dense batch to move more slowly than the first through the same line.
• The cone angle: this sheet publishes no cone angle field and the name carries none, so no angle is stated here. Ask before ordering if the angle is load-bearing for your product rather than taking it from a photograph.
• Access on top: an 18 inch threaded vented manway at 139 inches plus the stand. The vent arrives with the manway rather than as a separate specification, and on a vessel being pumped out that vent is structural rather than optional, because a tank that cannot take air in takes the load in its wall instead.
• Not published, therefore not claimed: the inlet, the lid size, any lug or flange count, the warranty term and the NMFC number. Published: a specific gravity rating of 1.9, 21,684 pounds of water at 2,600 gallons, 41,200 pounds of max contents and a service limit of 100 F / 37 C.

A translucent wall gets you a rough level in daylight and no more, and dense product makes the reading matter more rather than less: the level gauge selection guide for chemical service compares radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic and magnetostrictive on the ways each one fails. Where the tank stands over ground or a drain that would have to be recovered after a release, the Captor containment comparison answers the containment question separately from the tank question.

Heavy blends in a plant room that measures its ceiling

At 2,600 gallons with a 1.9 rating, this is the tank people buy when the product is heavy, the batch is real but not enormous, and the building will not take a taller vessel. Concentrated mineral and salt solutions in a process building, heavy liquid fertiliser and crop input blends at an agricultural retailer, thickened sludge and settled solids at a small treatment works, spent acid and pickling liquor in a metals plant, mineral and wash plant slurry, and batch make-up in chemical manufacturing where the vessel changes product and cannot afford to leave a heel behind. The last of those is the clearest case for the shape. On a flat floor every changeover leaves a layer, and at 2,600 gallons of dense product that layer is worth money and costs money to remove. A cone gives the vessel one low point to drain toward and turns the changeover into a rinse. The natural white wall adds something an operator will use every shift: a rough level read from the walkway without climbing, which matters more on a heavy product where the weight in the tank is the thing being tracked. The caution that goes with the shape is stratification, because 139 inches of liquid on a 90 inch circle separates more readily than a wide shallow vessel does, so plan the draw point and the mixing arrangement together rather than one after the other. And keep 100 F / 37 C in mind on anything filled warm. Settle the chemistry first in our chemical compatibility reference, because the gasket and valve answer comes from the product and not from the vessel.

Five hundred and seventy pounds on a Nebraska lane

This tank is moulded at Lincoln, Nebraska, and Nebraska is the origin state on the sheet, which puts the plains and the Midwest on the short lane and both coasts on the long one. The freight class reads 400 beside an LTL ship mode, and no NMFC number is published. The shipped package measures 90 inches by 90 inches by 139 inches at 570 pounds, which is trailer space rather than payload, and space is what prices this movement. Price the lane to your own ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. It travels lying down and is stood up at your end, and standing an eleven and a half foot vessel is a planned operation with a machine and a nominated person rather than something improvised when the truck arrives. This sheet publishes no lug count, so do not assume a lifting point: sling under the body, never by the manway, and keep the tank restrained from the moment it is upright. No crane, rigging, permit or escort detail is published either, so none is described here; agree the offload equipment and the delivery window with us before the truck is booked. Have the stand set, levelled and anchored first. Then prove the installation with clean water rather than product: hold the 21,684 pound water load, walk the manway seal, the cone joint, the stand feet and the pad edge with a torch, and leave it standing full overnight. Write the outlet fitting size and material on the site plan while the tape is still out, because the replacement is ordered by those two words and nobody wants to climb for them twice. Chalk the full-water line on the outside after the first fill; it is the level every later reading gets checked against.
