A 550 gallon black crosslinked tank for heavy chemical duty
The Snyder Industries 550 gallon ASTM XLPE black heavy duty vertical storage tank, part number 1800000N48, is a crosslinked linear polyethylene tank 48 inches in diameter and 75 inches tall, weighing 110 lb empty. It is rated for liquids up to 1.9 specific gravity with a service limit of 140 F, and Snyder backs it with a 3 year warranty. The top carries an 18 inch threaded vented manway. Full of water it holds 4,587 lb (550 x 8.34); at the 1.9 rating the contents can reach 8,715 lb. Black keeps light out of the contents, which protects light sensitive liquids and slows algae.

What this tank is for
Three things set this part apart from a plain water tank: the crosslinked resin, the 1.9 heavy duty rating and the 140 F limit. Together they point at chemical storage: dense solutions, warm process liquids and the chemicals that are hard on a linear polyethylene wall over years of service. If the liquid is water or a mild fertilizer, a linear polyethylene tank does the job; if it is an oxidizer, a strong acid or caustic, or something that runs warm, this is the kind of tank to look at. Our guide to when crosslinking matters for chemistry duty sets out the trade-offs, and the chemical compatibility guide is where to check your liquid. On a 48 inch circle, the tank fits a chemical room, a pump house or a corner of a treatment building where floor space is tight. Size the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide.
What to check before you buy
- Fittings. No outlet fitting is listed for this part. Tell us the outlet size, the material and where it should sit, and we will confirm what Snyder fits to this tank before you order.
- Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top for filling, a level sensor and inspection. If the chemical fumes, plan a vent line rather than relying on the vented lid alone.
- The pad. A full tank at the rating puts up to 8,715 lb on a 48 inch circle. Set it on a level, smooth, continuous surface; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the slab.
- Usable volume. Leave room for expansion at the top. Our note on freeboard, thermal expansion and the real volume you can use explains how much.
- Drinking water. This is a chemical tank. If you need potable paperwork, call us and we will confirm what Snyder documents for this model.
- Drawing. The drawing linked on this page is filed under part 1800000C34; confirm fitting positions on this crosslinked part with us.

Shipping and receiving
The tank ships LTL at freight class 300, 48 by 48 by 75 inches at 110 lb, from the nearest of Snyder's plants that moulds it: Lincoln, Nebraska; Marked Tree, Arkansas; or Philippi, West Virginia. Two people can stand it up empty. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. At the tailgate, check the part number against 1800000N48 on the bill of lading and walk the shell for transit damage. Fill it with water first to prove the fittings, then drain it fully before the chemical goes in.
