Snyder Industries 3500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Captor Double Wall Tank

The lighter black sheet that still reads 140 F

Against its shellmates this code occupies a very specific corner. It is black, so daylight stays off the contents. It is listed at 2,100 pounds, the lighter of the two weights in this shell, with a specific gravity rating of 1.5 giving 43,785 pounds of maximum contents against 29,190 pounds of plain water. And its service limit reads 140 F / 60 C, the higher of the two figures that appear across this shell. Put plainly: this is the light-duty black tank that does not give up the higher temperature figure. The other black listing at the same weight publishes a lower limit, and the heavier rows in the shell carry a rating this one does not need if your product is close to water. So the buyer this row is for has a product that is light, is sometimes warm, and is standing where the sun can reach it. That is a real combination on a great many sites and it is worth ordering deliberately rather than by accident. The rest of the selection is the usual honest caveat. The sheets in this family do not explain their codes, so no page here reads a specification out of a suffix; the fields are what we print and the chemistry is what decides. Describe the product, its strength and its working temperature and we will name the code Snyder lists for it. Black costs you the free level check a white shell gives an operator, so a gauge or sight arrangement is a specification item on this row and should be settled before the tank is set, not after the first overfill. Beyond that the site work is common to every tank on this shell: thirteen feet of vessel standing on an eight and a half foot square plan wants a flat, continuous, level surface carrying the whole footprint, never rails and never a shim at one corner, because 29,190 pounds of water sits on it. The framework and its boundary are in the concrete pad sizing guide for above-ground polyethylene tanks. Settle the volume you can actually use with the Captor double wall freeboard sizing guide, because a warm product expands and does not hand you the nameplate figure, then check quantity and turnover in the tank sizing calculator with the freeboard discipline from the tank sizing guide. Warm service and an outdoor stand both work the wall hardest at the vapour line, which is exactly the argument in the wall thickness at the vapour saturated headspace guide, and where containment is being bought to satisfy a requirement the Captor double wall compliance walkthrough takes it in order.

The 3500 gallon Captor group, row by row

Read this table as one shell sold under several duties rather than as a price ladder. The outside dimensions and the capacity never move across the first four rows; what moves is the listed weight, the colour, the material field and the service limit on each sheet. This tank and 5600000N40 share the 2,100 pound listing and differ by colour, which is the one difference anyone can see without paper. 5600000N42 and 5600000N30 sit at 2,500 pounds and carry the higher rating, which is the row to look at only when the product is genuinely dense. Nothing in that comparison is inferred; it is what the four sheets say side by side. The last two rows are the size question and this family answers it unusually cleanly, because every shell stands on the identical 102 inch square. Three thousand gallons is 142 inches and 1,900 pounds; this tank is 3,500 at 158; four thousand is 178 inches and 3,200 pounds. The floor, the bund line and the bay never change, so the decision is clear height and delivery frequency and nothing else. On a black tank going outdoors, weigh the access too: every inch above the manway is an inch somebody climbs in bad weather, so the shortest row that fits your delivery interval is often the better installation even when there is height to spare.

One opening on top, vented and threaded

• The vent: the manway is listed as threaded and vented, and on a tank rated to the higher limit in this shell the vent works harder, because a warm headspace moves more air for the same change in level. Outdoors it also has to survive weather, insects and freezing. Keep it clear, inspect it every time the manway is opened, and never blank or restrict it.
• The opening: 18 inches is the only opening the sheet publishes, and it does the fill, the inspection and the cleaning between them. Plan the drop pipe, the level arrangement and the rinse method to share one hole before the tank is set.
• Access: the manway is at 158 inches, which means a fixed platform, a ladder and fall protection designed with the installation, specified for wet and icy conditions on an exposed pad.
• Level: black wall, nothing readable through it. The gauge or sight arrangement belongs on the specification alongside the tank.
• Hot service: if the product approaches the published limit, say so at order time. Gasket material, valve seats and any flexible connection are chosen against temperature as well as chemistry, and that is the usual source of a weep on an otherwise sound vessel.
• The outlet: the outlet field reads "1 Manway / Lid", an opening and not a pipe size, and the inlet field is empty, so nothing further is claimed. Tell us the duty and the line size and we will confirm what this part number carries before pipe is bought.
• The space between the walls: no monitoring port, gauge or alarm is published, so that arrangement is specified separately and inspected to a written schedule.
• Limits: 140 F / 60 C, a specific gravity rating of 1.5, and a 3 Year Warranty.

Give us the product, the strength and the working temperature together, and every wetted part gets specified once against the real duty instead of twice against a default.

Warm service in daylight at thirty-five hundred gallons

This row lands where a light product sees sun and heat on the same pad: outdoor process and wash water storage, clean-in-place and wash-down supply in food, beverage and dairy plants with rooflights over the bay, agricultural retail and crop input holding on an open pad, transport depot and fleet wash installations, cooling tower and boiler house make-up in a hot plant room, and outdoor dosing at industrial sites where the tank sits in full sun through the summer. Thirty-five hundred gallons is the point at which totes stop making sense and a hose delivery starts to, and the second wall is what makes taking that delivery on a hard surface a plan rather than an exposure. Two routines belong with it. Put the interstitial inspection on a written schedule with dates, because containment is worth exactly what your records say about it, and walk the vent and the top arrangement after every storm and every hard freeze, since the fittings weather long before the shell does. Where private fire water storage is the question behind the enquiry, that is a different duty sized by different rules and the fire water reservoir design guide for rural and remote sites is where it starts; nothing here is a claim about that use.

A tall shipment and a flat base

Lincoln, Nebraska is the plant, and the sheet lists Nebraska and West Virginia as ship-from states; both are printed as given. Freight is LTL at class 250 with no NMFC number, and the load is 102 by 102 by 158 inches at 2,100 pounds. Price the lane to your ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. The lighter listing makes the lift easier than the heavier rows in this shell, but the envelope is identical, so plan around thirteen feet of height and eight and a half feet of width: gate frames, overhead services, the turning room at the far end and the offloading reach all want confirming before the truck is booked. Take it under the base, never by the manway and never dragged on the shell. Set it on the cured, level surface in its final position, prove it plumb in two directions while it is empty, and plumb nothing until it is. Fill with clean water, hold the 29,190 pound load, and read the manway seal, the base line and the surface underneath. Drain it, let it dry, open the space between the walls, look in good light and write the date on the shell. Last, mark the maximum working level on the inside of the manway rim where the person filling it can see it; a number written where the fill happens is worth more than a number in a file. Photograph the outlet fitting from below before the pipe goes on; a slow weep is easier to compare against than to describe.
