The Snyder Industries 4100 Gallon XLPE Heavy Duty Cone Bottom Tank is built for full-drain chemical service: a 1.9 specific-gravity rated crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) shell measuring 90 inches across the base and standing 197 inches tall on a 90.0 x 90.0 inch footprint. The cone bottom drains contents completely without manual sludge removal, and the heavy-duty XLPE wall with its 1.9 SG rating gives you room to run dense, aggressive chemistries that would push a standard 1.5 SG cone tank past its limit. At 1.9 specific gravity this is the heaviest-duty rating Snyder offers in this cone-bottom line - there is no higher-SG step-up to size into, so confirm your worst-case contents weight fits the ceiling now.
Will it hold your chemistry and your weight?
Capacity is 4100 gallons in Natural White XLPE. The numbers that decide whether a stand and pad will work are the weight figures: filled with water this tank carries 34,194 pounds, and at its maximum rated contents it is engineered for 64,969 pounds. That spread is the whole point of the 1.9 SG rating - several of the listed chemistries below run well above water density, so the rating is functional sizing, not a spec-sheet flourish. Run the math before you order: contents weight equals 34,194 pounds times your fluid's specific gravity, and confirm it stays under the 64,969-pound maximum. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm working volume and head pressure, and because this is a tall cone-bottom (197 inches), pair it with a properly rated steel stand - see our cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix.
Chemical compatibility
This is a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) tank rated to 1.9 specific gravity. Against the OEM chemical-resistance chart - which is always concentration- and temperature-specific - the following chemistries are compatible with this XLPE shell at the listed concentrations. Always confirm against the chart for your exact temperature and concentration before committing to chemical service.
- Acetic Acid 60% - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Aluminum Sulfate 50% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Calcium Chloride 40% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) 32.5% - 316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ethylene Glycol 100% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Chloride 50% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Sulfate 60% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferrous Sulfate 20% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Hydrofluosilicic Acid 26% - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride 30% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Polyaluminum Chloride - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Carbonate 50% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Hydroxide (saturated) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Propylene Glycol - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Carbonate 30% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Thiosulfate 40% - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Urea Solution 50% - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ozonated Water up to 10 PPM - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
Note the Viton gasket call-out on hydrofluosilicic acid - that single difference is the mistake that bites people, because the EPDM that works fine on the chlorides and glycols above is the wrong elastomer there. DEF calls for 316 stainless wetted parts, and urea solution calls for polypropylene rather than PVC. Build your fitting and gasket package to the specific chemistry, not to a default.

Outfitting, monitoring, and offload
A 4100-gallon cone tank is a process vessel, so plan inlets, vents, and level monitoring up front. This tank does not ship with a pre-set fitting package - bulkhead fittings, vents, and the drain outlet are specified to your chemistry, and the compatibility table above is your starting spec. Call 866-418-1777 to build the wetted-parts package. See the technical drawing on this page for the fitting layout, and review our guide to tank level gauge selection for chemical service to choose between radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic, and magnetostrictive measurement. If your install requires secondary containment, compare your options in our Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment vs UL-142 comparison. Empty shipping weight and the OEM technical drawing govern your offload equipment - check the drawing and confirm rigging before the truck arrives.
This Snyder cone bottom tank (XLPE, Snyder) ships by LTL freight from the Snyder plant in Lincoln, NE, quoted live to your ZIP code. It is a single ship point, and at 197 inches tall on a 90 x 90 base this is an oversized LTL load - freight scales hard with distance, so quote your ZIP before you commit. Get your exact freight cost with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 to talk through fittings, stand sizing, and delivery. Listed price is the tank only and does not include freight.
