The Snyder Industries 5600 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a full-size bulk vertical storage tank built for high-demand water and liquid applications where a large footprint is available. It holds 5,600 gallons, stands 102 inches tall, and sits on a 142-by-142-inch footprint. Molded from single-material polyethylene in black to limit light transmission and algae growth, it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which means the tank wall is engineered to hold contents substantially heavier than water.
Will it work for your site
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 46,704 pounds of contents; at its full 1.9 specific gravity rating the wall is rated for contents up to about 88,738 pounds. That is the heavy-duty ceiling for this line, so the rated capacity already covers dense chemistries up to 1.9 specific gravity without stepping up to another tank. Because of the 142-by-142-inch footprint and the loaded weight, plan a properly engineered pad before delivery. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm the tank fits your volume and space, and our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for the foundation. Remember that the 5,600-gallon nameplate is not all usable head-to-fill volume; our guide on Snyder freeboard sizing per ASTM D1998 explains how to reserve freeboard so you plan around the real working volume.
Fittings and configuration
The molded fittings on this vertical storage tank include a flange outlet, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with a 15-inch access opening. Additional fitting flats are provided at 171.5 degrees and 261.5 degrees for adding connections. Refer to the technical drawing on this page for exact fitting positions, elevations, and thread sizes before you plumb the tank. Confirm the flange outlet, the 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, the 15-inch manway gasket, and any connection added at the 171.5 or 261.5 degree flats are all rated for your service liquid and its specific gravity.
