Snyder Industries 2650 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank with ASTM Certification

Half a tanker under eight feet, in the middle wall

A water-rated wall is for water and nothing heavier; the heaviest wall is for concentrated acid; a 1.5 wall is the middle, sized for brine, fertilizer solution and coagulant as delivered and every water application, with margin. Rotationally molded polyethylene tanks are sized to ASTM D1998, and the way a tank meets the density it is rated for is in the wall; the HDPE tank wall thickness guide explains the sizing logic and why the headspace is where a wall ages. The shape is the low one at this volume: 33,152 pounds on a 102 inch circle at the rating sits close to the ground and needs the least strapping in its class, on a slab in full contact or a compacted, screeded gravel pad, per the concrete pad sizing guide. The tank sizing calculator tells you whether 2,650 gallons covers the draw, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.

Grades on the 102 x 97 inch tank, and the sizes beside it

The N45 is the 1.9 wall in this same shell, 290 pounds heavier, for ferric at strength and the heavy brines; the C26 and C37 are the general grades at this tank's weight, and the C26-BLACK the black one for sun. The 5090000C26 and 5130000C34 stand 2,500 and 3,000 gallons on a 90 inch base at 107 and 127 inches, for a site with height and less floor.

Openings and limits

• Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, 97 inches up; filled by hose, tote pump or truck through a dip tube, vented outside on anything that fumes, and size the vent for the delivery pump.
• Outlet: tell us the liquid when ordering and the bulkhead fitting is matched to it; a flexible connector between the bulkhead and hard pipe, and the valve supported off the pad.
• Service limit: 120 F.

The white wall shows the level in daylight; fit a low-level float switch so a pump never runs dry. Mount the pump below the outlet so it primes by gravity, keep the manway closed against vapor loss, and keep the tank out of direct sun where the liquid is light-sensitive. Where it freezes, insulate or drain the outlet valve and the first length of pipe; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.

Delivery without a mess

A delivery truck's pump can push air out faster than a stock vent can pass it, so the vent is sized for the unload rate or the fill goes through a dedicated top bulkhead with its own vent line. A fill pipe to the floor keeps the liquid from free-falling and foaming. Nobody walks away during the first fill: the slab edge and the outlet fitting are checked as the level climbs, and the log takes the date and strength of every load that follows.

The usual assignments

Coagulant, brine and fertilizer solution at farms and small plants with a low roof, well storage for a house, a barn and a garden, a rain cistern under a large roof, stock water on a pasture, 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.

Lane rate, not class rate

At 102 inches across the 8390000N43 ships as oversize freight at a lane rate rather than a class rate; the freight cost estimator prices the move to your ZIP, and the price on this page is before freight. A forklift with long forks sets 510 pounds on the pad, or two people stand it. Fill it to the manway once, hold it, and check the outlet fitting before the pump goes on. Write the outlet fitting size and material on the site plan; the replacement is ordered by those two words.
