A 50 gallon certified tank for the pilot skid
The Snyder 1540700N45 is a small vertical liquid storage tank: 50 gallons of white polyethylene in a shell 23 inches across and 38 inches tall, weighing 26 pounds. It carries the same 1.9 specific gravity wall as the big chemical tanks, rated for 792 pounds of contents against 417 for water, and it is sold with ASTM certification for the pilot plant or the lab where the paperwork has to match the plant's. A 10 inch threaded lid on top, a 3 year warranty, and it ships by UPS.

Small tank, plant-grade wall
Fifty gallons is a day of chemical for a small dosing pump, a batch of polymer for a package plant, or the reservoir on a chemical feed cart, and a 23 inch base under 38 inches stands on a bench or a spill tray without a bracket, though a bracket is cheap insurance against a snagged hose. What it shares with the largest tanks in the same line is the wall, sized for a liquid nearly twice as dense as water and certified against ASTM D1998; the HDPE tank wall thickness guide explains the D1998 sizing logic and why the vapor headspace is where a wall fails first, at any size. Full, it puts 792 pounds on a 23 inch circle, which a bench or a paver supports; the concrete pad sizing guide covers a shared slab. The tank sizing calculator sizes a day tank to the pump's rate and the refill schedule, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve; the Captor freeboard sizing guide covers how much of a nominal volume is usable, and when a double wall is the cleaner answer than a spill tray.
Snyder's smallest verticals
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1540700N45 (this tank, ASTM certified) | 50 | 23 x 38 in | 26 lb |
| 1540700N51 | 50 | 23 x 38 in | 26 lb |
| 1000110N42 (XLPE) | 35 | 22 x 36 in | 18 lb |
| 5680000N42 (XLPE) | 60 | 26 x 40 in | 26 lb |
The N51 is another resin option in the same shell at the same weight. The 1000110N42 is the cross-linked 35, 2 inches shorter on a base an inch narrower, for hypochlorite and the other oxidizers, and the 5680000N42 is the cross-linked 60, 2 inches taller on a base 3 inches wider at this tank's weight.

Ports
- Access: 10 inch threaded lid; filled by hose or funnel from a carboy.
- Outlet: tell us the chemical when ordering and the bulkhead fitting is matched to it; a flexible line to the pump suction.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
- Listing: ASTM certification.
The dosing pump sits below the outlet so it primes by gravity, with a union and a check valve in the suction line. A white 38 inch tank shows its level at a glance; a low-level float switch protects the pump. The lid stays closed against vapor loss, and a light-sensitive chemical stays out of the sun.
Where you will find one
Pilot plants, lab skids, chemical feed carts, small package treatment plants, and the bench reservoir that feeds a metering pump for a test. One chemical per tank, labeled, refilled on a schedule the chemistry tolerates, and rinsed at every changeover, which takes a minute.
Shipping the tank
At 26 pounds and 23 by 23 by 38 inches, the 1540700N45 ships by UPS rather than freight; the freight cost estimator shows the cost to your ZIP, and the listed price is before shipping. Unbox it, check the lid and the outlet fitting, fill it once with water to prove the seal, and keep the certification paperwork with the project file. Walk the base after the first hard rain; a pad that shifts shows it at the edge first.
