Snyder Industries 50 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

A small tank on a narrow footprint

A 23 inch circle is under two feet across, so this tank goes where a wider drum will not: between a wall and a pump skid, under a work surface with the lid clear, or on the shelf of a cart. At 38 inches tall the 10 inch lid sits at about waist height, which makes hand filling from a jug or a transfer pump easy and lets you get an arm and a brush inside to clean.

Fifty gallons is a day tank or a feed tank: a chemical feed beside a dosing pump, a mix tank for a finishing step, a concentrate held next to the line that uses it. The 1.9 rating is the reason to pick it. A dense liquid loads the wall and the floor under it far more than water does, and this wall is built for that load. For water alone, a lighter tank may do the same job.

The black wall keeps light out, which stops algae in water and protects liquids that break down in sunlight. It also hides the level and gains heat in the sun, so keep it shaded where the 120 F limit could be reached.

What to check before you buy

1. The lid. A 10 inch threaded lid. Make sure your fill hose, funnel or pump wand fits through it, and keep it screwed down between fills so dirt stays out.
2. The outlet. No outlet size is listed for this tank on this page. Tell us the connection you need and we will confirm it from Snyder's drawing before the tank ships.
3. The base. Close to 800 lb of dense liquid on a 23 inch circle needs a flat, level surface that touches the whole bottom. Our concrete pad sizing guide explains the reasoning.
4. The liquid. Check it in our chemical compatibility guide before it goes in, and call us if it is not listed.
5. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for 1540700N51 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

The name carries Snyder's ASTM heavy duty designation, but no ASTM standard number is listed for this tank here; if your specification calls one out, ask us and we will confirm it with Snyder in writing. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 250 from Merced, California, 23 by 23 by 38 inches and 26 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. At the tailgate, check the part number against 1540700N51 on the bill of lading, look over the wall, base and lid threads for transit damage, and note any damage on the paperwork before you sign. Set it in place before you fill it: empty it is a one person lift, full of water it is over 400 lb. Fill it with water first, leave it overnight, and check the base before it carries anything else.
