The 1.9 rated, ASTM certified 3,000 gallon tank
The Snyder 5130300N45 is the heaviest of Snyder's certified 3,000 gallon verticals: white polyethylene, 96 inches across and 111 inches tall, 720 pounds empty, with a wall rated for a specific gravity of 1.9. That rating puts the maximum contents at 47,538 pounds against 25,020 for water, which is what a treatment plant's caustic, ferric or alum at delivered strength needs, and the tank is sold with ASTM certification for the submittal. A 3 inch outlet, an 18 inch threaded, vented manway, and a 3 year warranty.
Two ways to buy. Add it to your cart above with freight quoted to your ZIP, or request a written quote for a job that needs paperwork.
What 720 pounds of resin buys
Against the 480 and 600 pound tanks from the same mold, the 5130300N45 carries 240 and 120 more pounds of polyethylene, all of it wall thickness: a shell that resists creep under a dense liquid, holds its shape through decades of sun and thermal cycling, and carries the side load of hard pipe at the 3 inch outlet. The certification is against ASTM D1998; the HDPE tank wall thickness guide covers the sizing logic and the headspace inspection, and the Captor freeboard sizing guide covers the volume to leave empty. The 3,000 gallon vertical tank buyers guide compares the tall and low shapes; the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide settle the volume against feed rate and delivery interval.
Three ratings on the 96 x 111 inch shell
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5130300N45 (this tank, 1.9 SG) | 3,000 | 96 x 111 in | 720 lb |
| 5130300N43 (1.5 SG) | 3,000 | 96 x 111 in | 600 lb |
| 5130300N39 (1.35 SG) | 3,000 | 96 x 111 in | 480 lb |
| 5130000C34 | 3,000 | 90 x 127 in | 575 lb |
| 8390000C26 (low profile) | 2,650 | 102 x 97 in | 510 lb |
If the liquid is under 1.5, the 5130300N43 does the job with 120 fewer pounds; under 1.35, the 5130300N39 with 240 fewer. The 5130000C34 is the 90 inch base alternative at 127 inches, and the 8390000C26 is the low room answer at 97 inches on a 102 inch base. The 5130300N45 is the one for the liquid that is heavy and the site that needs the paper.

Ports
- Outlet: 3 inch, at the bottom of the sidewall; a flanged transition, an expansion joint, and a valve supported off the slab, with the nut re-checked after the first full fill.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway; vent outside on caustic and acid service, fill through a dip tube to the floor.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Full, the tank loads a 96 inch circle to 47,538 pounds at the rating, an engineered slab in full contact under the whole floor and level enough that 111 inches of tank stands plumb. Instrument it with a hydrostatic sender at the outlet chosen for the chemical, and strap it while empty.
Where you will find one
Caustic, coagulant and acid bulk storage at water and wastewater plants that need the certification on file, reagent storage on a process floor, and, with water in it, a fire reserve sized under NFPA 22 as the fire-water reservoir design guide describes, with the thickest wall on this mold.
Shipping the tank
At 96 inches across and 111 inches long on the deck the 5130300N45 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) on a flatbed at a lane rate; the freight cost estimator prices it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks sets 720 pounds on the slab. Water-test in stages with a hold, then drain and dry before the first chemical delivery, and keep the certification with the project file. Walk the base after the first hard rain; a pad that shifts shows it at the edge first.
