Snyder Industries 300 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

An alley between two vessels, the end of an existing containment curb, a chemical room with a door and a single free wall, a dosing station in a plant where the floor is fully committed, an outdoor pad the size of a pallet. What the narrow base saves in floor it spends in height: at 80 inches the manway is above everyone's head and the vent and fill line above it need ceiling room, so measure the purlin, the sprinkler head and the light fixture before you order. Full of water the tank puts 2,502 lb on a 35 inch circle, the highest bearing pressure in its group, so pour the slab to our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact. At 65 lb empty it is the easiest shape in the range for wind to lay over, so band it to structure the day it lands. Run 300 gallons against the draw in the tank sizing calculator and take the reserve and freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

What goes in it

Dark storage for a liquid that polyethylene handles at room temperature: a farm or nursery solution that has to sit outside, brine and concentrate at a small plant. Check any chemical in the chemical compatibility guide before you order.

Openings and fittings

1. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway at the top of an 80 inch shell: platform or tied-off ladder work, with the fill line landed at the rim on a permanent connection so nobody holds a hose at full stretch. Fill through a dip tube to the floor; a stream falling nearly seven feet foams the headspace.
2. Outlet. Tell us the liquid and the draw-off you need when you order and we will confirm what this tank accepts at the base and in what material before anything is cut. Nearly seven feet of standing liquid presses on a base fitting far harder than a low tank does, so every base run rides on its own support with a flexible connector to hard pipe.
3. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 1630000N51 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Sizes nearby

Three more 300 gallon tanks on the same 35 inch base: the 300 gallon black tank 1011200C34, the 300 gallon tank 1011200C26 and the 300 gallon crosslinked tank 1011200N42. A step down: the 290 gallon vertical tank 1013000C26. When the roof is the real constraint and the floor is free: the 330 gallon vertical tank 1008200C26, more gallons in a wide, low shell.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's Marked Tree, Arkansas plant, 35 by 35 by 80 inches on a pallet, 65 lb. A tall, light parcel is priced on deck space and transit rather than the scale; run your ZIP through the freight cost estimator. Add it to your cart at the top of this page, get LTL freight to your ZIP, or call 866-418-1777. The listed price is before freight. A column nearly seven feet tall goes over the moment it is set on uneven ground, so it comes off standing, with straps under the body and never through the manway, onto the finished pad, and gets banded before anyone walks away. Check 1630000N51 against the bill of lading and fill it with water the first time, in daylight, with someone watching the base.
