The Snyder Industries 330 Gallon HDPE Excalibur Stackable IBC Tote Tank is a 330-gallon bulk container molded in high density polyethylene with a 1.4 specific gravity rating, which is what lets it carry process fluids heavier than water. It measures 47 inches square by 52.125 inches tall, so it sits on a standard 47 x 47 inch footprint and stacks for vertical storage when floor space is tight. As shipped it carries a 6-inch HDLPE lid with a 2-inch NPS port on an EPDM seal, plus a 2-inch polyethylene vacuum vent with EPDM - both detailed on the technical drawing on this page. If you are sourcing an IBC tote or HDPE tote tank for bulk handling, this is the stackable 330-gallon option.
Will it work for your contents?
Match your fluid to the 1.4 SG rating before you buy. At 330 gallons of water the tote holds about 2,752 lb of contents; the tank is rated to a maximum contents weight of 3,853 lb, and that headroom is exactly what the 1.4 rating buys you for denser fluids. Multiply your fluid's specific gravity by the gallons you intend to fill and keep the loaded weight at or under 3,853 lb. One thing to settle first: our spec field reads HDPE while the part record and the lid read HDLPE - confirm with us which resin your unit is, and whether it is HDLPE or XLPE (cross-linked), before any chemical service, because those resins carry different chemical-resistance limits. If you are weighing this against a drum or a larger bulk tank, the container vs tank buying guide and the drum vs tote vs bulk tank break-even analysis walk through the volume and turnover math. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm fill height and weight for your stand or containment pad.
Chemical compatibility
This tote is HDLPE rated to 1.4 specific gravity. As shipped at that rating, two services run cleanly with the right wetted hardware: diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) at 32.5 percent concentration on 316 stainless fittings with EPDM gaskets, and urea solution at 50 percent on PP or PVC fittings with EPDM gaskets. See our DEF compatibility page and urea solution compatibility page, and always verify against the OEM chemical-resistance chart at your exact concentration and temperature.
Chemicals that need a higher-SG tank
Several chemicals are storable in this resin family but exceed the 1.4 SG rating of this 330-gallon tote and require a higher-rated tank. A 1.5 SG vessel covers acetic acid (PP/PVC, EPDM), aluminum sulfate (PVC, EPDM), calcium chloride (PVC, EPDM), ferrous sulfate (PVC, EPDM), magnesium chloride (PVC, EPDM), sodium carbonate (PVC, EPDM), and ozonated water (PVC, EPDM). A 1.9 SG vessel is required for ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, polyaluminum chloride, potassium carbonate, potassium hydroxide, sodium bisulfate, sodium bisulfite, sodium thiosulfate, and zinc orthophosphate - all on PVC or PP with EPDM. Watch the gasket on the oxidizers and strong acids: hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrofluosilicic acid, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and sodium hypochlorite all need Viton rather than EPDM (sulfuric on CPVC fittings), and peracetic acid needs an Aflas gasket on 316 stainless. EPDM will not survive those bleach and acid services. Cross-check each one against the Chemical Compatibility Database - for example sulfuric acid, sodium hypochlorite, and hydrochloric acid - to confirm fitting and gasket selection at your concentration. For these acid and oxidizer services, the RCRA 40 CFR 264.193 secondary containment guide and the Snyder Captor 110% containment vs UL-142 comparison cover the catch-basin and inspection requirements.
