3,000 gallons at 1.9 specific gravity, under eight feet
The Snyder 7410000N45 is a white high density linear polyethylene vertical liquid storage tank, 102 inches across and 96 inches tall, holding 3,000 gallons at 660 pounds. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.9, or 47,538 pounds of contents against 25,020 for water, the chemical-grade wall for ferric chloride at strength, concentrated acids and the heavy brines, on a low, wide shape that cannot tip and keeps the 18 inch manway within reach of a short step. A 3 year warranty, and it ships as oversize freight.

The heavy wall, laid low
A 1.9 specific gravity wall is sized for a liquid nearly twice as dense as water, and 660 pounds of resin is what that takes at 3,000 gallons on this shape, 140 pounds more than the 1.35 wall in the same shell. The eight and a half foot base at 96 inches puts the load on the pad without the lever arm a tall tank has in wind, so no strap is needed once it is full; full, it puts 47,538 pounds on a 102 inch circle at the rating, which a slab in full contact carries. The 3,000 gallon low-profile tank buyers guide compares this shape across makers, and the 95 by 109 inch 3,000 gallon guide covers the taller competitors; the tank sizing calculator sizes the tank to feed rate and delivery interval, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve.
Grades on the 102 x 96 inch tank, and the sizes beside it
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7410000N45 (this tank, 1.9 SG) | 3,000 | 102 x 96 in | 660 lb |
| 7410000N49 (black, 1.5 SG, ASTM certified) | 3,000 | 102 x 96 in | 660 lb |
| 7410000N39 (1.35 SG, ASTM certified) | 3,000 | 102 x 96 in | 520 lb |
| 5130000N39 (tall, 1.35 SG, ASTM certified) | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 510 lb |
| 5130000C34 (tall) | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 575 lb |
| 8390000C26 | 2,650 | 102 x 97 in | 510 lb |
| 32288 | 3,500 | 96 x 125 in | 550 lb |
The N49 is the black 1.5 wall in this same shell at the same weight, and the N39 the 1.35 wall, 140 pounds lighter, both certified. The 5130000 tanks stand 3,000 gallons on a 90 inch base 31 inches taller for a site with height and less floor. The 8390000C26 holds 2,650 gallons in this same low shape in the general grade, and the 32288 is the 3,500 gallon step up on a 96 inch base at 125 inches.

Access and outlet
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway; vent outside on acid and caustic service, fill through a dip tube, and size the vent for a delivery truck's unload rate.
- Outlet: the bulkhead fitting is chosen for the chemical at order time; a flexible connector between the bulkhead and hard pipe, and the valve supported off the pad.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Choose the level sender for the chemical; a float switch at low level shuts the pump off before it runs dry, and the low shape keeps the suction flooded to the last few inches. Put the dosing pump below the outlet, where it primes by gravity, keep the manway closed against vapor loss, and shade the tank where the chemical is light-sensitive. A single wall tank of a regulated liquid lives inside a berm that holds the whole tank.
Receiving a delivery
A delivery truck's pump moves liquid faster than a manway vent passes air, so the vent is sized for the unload rate or the fill comes in through a top bulkhead with its own vent line. Caustic and coagulant foam if they drop through air, so the fill pipe reaches the floor. When a batch is cut with water, the water goes in first and the chemical after, because dilution heats a dense liquid. The first delivery into a new tank is watched from start to finish, with the outlet fitting checked as the level climbs, and every delivery after that goes in the log with a date and a strength.
Put to use
Ferric and other dense coagulants at a plant with a berm and a low roof, heavy brine for a softener bank, fertilizer concentrate on a farm, and water where the buyer wants the heaviest wall on a low tank for a long life outdoors, including a fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. One liquid per tank, labeled.
How it ships
At 102 inches across the 7410000N45 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane 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 660 pounds on the pad. Water-fill it once to the manway, hold it, then drain and dry before the chemical connection is made. A strap that is checked once a season is a strap that holds; put it on the same calendar as the gutters.
