The black 4400 at 1.9: same cone, no light through the wall
The Snyder 5200000N48 is the black listing of the heavier 4,400 gallon pair. The sheet gives 4,400 gallons, 90 inches long, 90 inches wide and 200 inches tall, 1,700 pounds empty and 1,700 pounds shipping, colour field Black, material field Crosslinked Linear Polyethylene, and a cone published at 30 degrees. Heavy duty is the maker's name word for the listing and the sheet backs it with figures rather than adjectives: a specific gravity rating of 1.9 and 69,722 pounds of max contents, against 36,696 pounds of water at 8.34 pounds per gallon. Access on top is an 18 inch threaded vented manway. The outlet field reads 1 Manway / Lid, which names an opening rather than a discharge, and no discharge size is published. The sheet lists 4 tiedown lugs, 8 lifting lugs, ladder lugs and 3 flange lines. The service limit is 100 F / 37 C, the freight class reads 300, and no inlet, lid size, stand or warranty term appears anywhere on it.

Dense product that also has to be kept dark
This part number answers two requirements at once, and it is worth being clear that they are separate requirements. The first is weight. A 1.9 rating and 69,722 pounds of max contents in a vessel that holds 36,696 pounds of water means a liquid half again as heavy as water can fill the tank rather than half of it, and that is the difference between buying one tank and buying two. The second is light. A black wall stops daylight at the shell, which matters for product that degrades in light and for water-based liquid standing outdoors, where a translucent tank turns into a seasonal cleaning job nobody budgeted for. Plants that need both tend to be outdoor bulk storage at agricultural retail, chemistry standing on a pad at a treatment works, and recovery or recycling systems at a manufacturing site where the tank lives outside because there was no room in the building. What you give up is the level reading through the wall, and on a 200 inch column that is a real loss, so put the instrumentation in the same order as the tank rather than deciding it later. The ground comes next and it is where cone installations go wrong. This vessel has no flat floor. It cannot stand on its own bottom and this sheet publishes no stand, no legs, no skirt, no support ring and no bolt pattern, so the stand is a separate item with its own lead time and no height, load or material for one is printed here. Plan the finished height as the stand plus 200 inches plus working clearance over the manway, and plan the loads as 1,700 pounds empty, 36,696 pounds of water and up to 69,722 pounds of rated contents landing on a few stand feet inside a 90 inch circle. Fix the volume with the tank sizing calculator, set the freeboard from the tank sizing guide, and settle the structure against the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix before either piece is ordered.
Reading the 4400 group by colour and by rating
| Part | Gallons | Length x width x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5200000N48 (this tank, black, rated 1.9) | 4400 | 90 x 90 x 200 in | 1,700 lb |
| 5200000N42 (natural white, same weight) | 4400 | 90 x 90 x 200 in | 1,700 lb |
| 5200000N46 (lighter listing) | 4400 | 90 x 90 x 200 in | 1,400 lb |
| 5200000N49 (lighter listing) | 4400 | 90 x 90 x 200 in | 1,400 lb |
| 5180000N40 (4100 gallons, 197 inches) | 4100 | 90 x 90 x 197 in | 1,000 lb |
| 8050100C75501 (102 inch circle, 154 inches tall) | 4600 | 102 x 102 x 154 in | 1,200 lb |
Take the first two rows together, because they are the only pair in this table that differ in exactly one field. This tank and 5200000N42 are the same 4,400 gallons, the same 90 by 90 by 200 inch shell, the same 1,700 pounds, and the sheet changes nothing but the colour: black here, natural white there. Choose on light, not on anything else, and choose the instrumentation to match. Rows three and four are the 1,400 pound listings, and the sheet gives their weight without explaining it, so no explanation is offered here either; the usable difference is that this listing carries the 1.9 rating and 69,722 pounds of max contents, which is what you are paying for when your product is heavier than water. If it is not heavier than water, read those rows instead. The last two rows change shape rather than grade. 5180000N40 is 4,100 gallons at 197 inches on the same circle, which is the honest buy when the real batch is smaller than the specification's round number. 8050100C75501 holds 4,600 gallons in only 154 inches by going out to a 102 inch circle, which buys more volume out of less height by taking more floor. Under a low roof that row wins arguments the ratings cannot. If the crosslinked wall itself is what you are weighing up, our read on XLPE against HDPE for chemistry duty sets out where crosslinking earns its place.

The cone outlet, the manway above it and the lugs between
- Start at the discharge, because on this shape it is the lowest point of the vessel and everything depends on it. The cone is published at 30 degrees, which keeps a free-flowing liquid moving toward one point and will hold on to material that packs. If your product consolidates when it stands, tell us before you order.
- The outlet field: it reads 1 Manway / Lid on this sheet. That names an opening, not a discharge, and it is printed here exactly as written. No outlet dimension, thread, bulkhead or valve is published, so none is claimed. Tell us the line size and the valve you need and we will confirm what this part number carries.
- Carrying the load: with up to 69,722 pounds of rated contents standing over it, nothing at the low point should be supported by the tank. Take the valve, the reducer and the first run of pipe on steelwork off the stand, and break the line with a flexible connector before the pump so vibration never reaches the wall.
- Structure the sheet dimensions: 4 tiedown lugs, 8 lifting lugs, ladder lugs and 3 flange lines. That is more than most sheets in this family publish, and it makes the lift and the tiedown planned work rather than improvised work.
- Access on top: an 18 inch threaded vented manway, with the vent arriving as part of the manway rather than as a separate item. Keep it clear at all times. A vessel being pumped down that cannot take air in takes the load in its own wall instead.
- Absent from this sheet and therefore absent from this page: the inlet, the lid size, the warranty term and the NMFC number. Present: a specific gravity of 1.9, 36,696 pounds of water at 4,400 gallons, 69,722 pounds of max contents and a limit of 100 F / 37 C.
Because this wall is black, nobody will read a level through it, and on 200 inches of column that turns instrumentation into a line item rather than an option: the level gauge selection guide for chemical service sets radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic and magnetostrictive against one another on exactly this duty, including what each one does with a dense liquid and a tall narrow vessel.
Where sunlight is the problem and density is the specification
Outdoors is where this listing spends most of its life. An agricultural retailer holding concentrated inputs on a pad through a season, a water or wastewater works keeping treatment chemistry at working strength where there is no building to put it in, a manufacturer holding recovered process liquid outside the plant, a wash water system that ran out of room indoors. All of them are storing something that weighs more than water and none of them wants daylight in it. The figures that make it work are 69,722 pounds of allowed contents against 36,696 pounds of water in the same 4,400 gallons, and a 30 degree cone that takes the vessel down to empty at the end of a run instead of leaving a ring of dense product on a floor. That last point is worth more at high specific gravity than at low, because what gets left behind is heavier and usually more valuable. Two limitations belong on the page rather than in a phone call. The service limit this sheet publishes is 100 F / 37 C, and a black tank in open sun is the installation where that figure gets tested, so talk to us about the location before you order. And the tank does not choose your chemistry: name the liquid, its weight per gallon and its temperature at fill, and we will work the wall, the gasket and the fittings from there rather than from the gallon figure. Our chemical compatibility database is where that check starts, one liquid at a time.

Two hundred inches of black shell on a class 300 ticket
Moulding is at Lincoln, Nebraska and the sheet gives Nebraska as the shipping state, so the lane price depends mostly on how far you sit from the middle of the country. The class reads 300 next to an LTL ship mode, and no NMFC number is published on this sheet. The envelope is 90 by 90 by 200 inches at 1,700 pounds, a modest weight occupying a great deal of trailer, which is why tanks this size are quoted on space rather than on scale weight. Take the lane figure for your ZIP from the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. It travels on its side and is stood up at your end, and on this sheet you are given the hardware to do it properly: 8 lifting lugs for the lift and 4 tiedown lugs for the restraint. Use those rather than improvising, and keep every strap and every hook off the manway. No crane, rigging, permit or escort detail is published here, so none is described; settle the offload equipment and the delivery window with us before the truck is booked rather than on the morning it lands. The stand goes in first, set, levelled and anchored, because a cone bottom tank with nothing to stand on is a tank lying in your yard. Fill with clean water before product, hold the 36,696 pound load, then read the manway seal, the cone joint, the stand feet and the pad edge in that order. Black shells hide a weep that a white one would show you, so run that water test in daylight and get underneath the cone with a torch before you sign it off. Keep the first delivery's paperwork with the tank; strength and date on day one is the baseline for every batch after.
