Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Seven and a half feet of floor

Pick this body when the pad is the constraint: a corner of a bay, a berm already poured, a row of tanks on fixed centers. The 90 inch circle is the smallest footprint that holds 3,000 gallons in this line, and the price is 127 inches of height, so the manway needs a platform and the empty tank is strapped to structure before the first fill. Full at the rating it puts up to 47,538 lb on that small circle, a heavier load per square foot than the wider 3,000s, so the slab is engineered per our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact with the tank floor. Black polyethylene passes no light to the contents, which slows algae in water and protects light sensitive chemicals; it runs warmer in the sun than white, so shade a heat sensitive liquid, and it hides the level, so plan a sender.

What goes in it

Water, liquid fertilizer and the common chemicals polyethylene handles, up to 1.9 times the weight of water and not above 120 F. Confirm the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide before ordering. The tank sizing calculator checks that 3,000 gallons covers the draw between fills; the tank sizing guide covers reserve and headspace. For water storage, see our fire water reservoir guide and the industrial water reuse guide.

Openings and fittings

1. Outlet. A 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base. Flexible connector before hard pipe, valve supported off the pad. Tell us the liquid so we confirm the fitting suits it.
2. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway, 127 inches up. Fill through a dip tube and size the vent to the fill pump.
3. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 8160000C34 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

The black heavy duty 3,000 on wider bodies: the part 5130300C34, the part 5130000C34 and the part 7410000C34; each page gives its own diameter and height. The general 1.5 grade in black: the 3,000 gallon black tank, part 5130000C37-BLACK. For lighter liquids: the 3,000 gallon ASTM 1.35 SG black tank. One step down and up: the 2,650 gallon heavy duty tank and the 3,500 gallon white vertical tank. Double wall buyers: our Captor freeboard sizing note.
