The Snyder Industries 60 Gallon HDLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank with Stand (SII-5680024CFWS45) is a specialty feed-station unit that ships as a white High Density Linear Polyethylene tank on an integrated stand, built for day-tank and metering-pump duty where you need the tank elevated over a pump skid or containment. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, an empty weight of 108 lb, and a 6" lid, with a 47" x 36" footprint standing 58" tall. Snyder rates it to a maximum operating temperature of 120 F / 48 C. If you are cross-shopping, common search language for this unit includes "60 gallon tank," "Snyder Industries tank," and "HDLPE chemical feed station."
Will it hold your chemical?
Sizing is the first check. Filled with plain water this 60-gallon tank carries about 500 lb of contents; its 1.9 SG shell is rated to a maximum contents weight of roughly 951 lb, which is what lets you run heavier-than-water chemistry without over-stressing the wall. This is already the 1.9 SG shell — Snyder's top density rating — so there is no heavier-duty version to step up to, and the 951 lb contents ceiling is the hard limit. Match your fluid's specific gravity against that ceiling before you commit: a dense solution near the SG limit is fine, but the actual contents weight must never exceed the rating. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm your fluid's weight against the 951 lb rating, and plan your top penetrations early — the top-fitting placement guide and the level-gauge selection guide help you lay out fill, vent, level, and drain without cross-contamination.
Chemical compatibility
This shell is HDLPE rated to 1.9 specific gravity. Snyder's OEM chemical-resistance chart is concentration- and temperature-specific, so confirm your exact chemical, concentration, temperature, and the fitting and gasket materials before you order. From that chart, this 1.9 SG tank is cleared for full-strength oxidizers and acids including Sodium Hypochlorite (<16.5%, PVC fittings, Viton gaskets), Hydrochloric Acid (37%, PVC, Viton), Sulfuric Acid (98%, CPVC, Viton), Phosphoric Acid (85%, PVC, Viton), Hydrogen Peroxide (50%, PVC, Viton), Ferric Chloride (50%, PVC, EPDM), Hydrofluoric Acid (48%, PP/PVC, Viton), Potassium Hydroxide (saturated, PVC, EPDM), Ethylene Glycol (100%, PVC, EPDM), Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM), and Sodium Bisulfite (PVC/PP, EPDM). Lower-SG dilutions such as Acetic Acid (60%), Aluminum Sulfate (50%), Calcium Chloride (40%), and Sodium Carbonate (30%) are also cleared here. Ozonated water (up to 10 PPM, PVC, EPDM) is compatible as well.
Watch the fitting and gasket call-outs, because several fluids break the usual PVC/Viton default. Peracetic Acid (30%) requires 316SS fittings with an Aflas gasket — not Viton. And the two urea-based fluids run their own hardware: DEF (32.5%) and Urea Solution (50%) both call for 316SS metal fittings with EPDM, and both are extremely intolerant of contamination — defaulting them to PVC/Viton is a common, real-world miss. Zinc Orthophosphate and Propylene Glycol likewise list 316SS options. Cross-check your full chemistry against the Chemical Compatibility Database before finalizing.
The mistake to avoid
The single most common error on a chemical feed station is matching the tank but mismatching the wetted hardware. This unit ships as the tank-and-stand with a 6" lid; bulkhead fittings, valves, and gaskets are specified and purchased separately to match your chemistry. The shell handles aggressive acids, but the gasket and fitting material is what fails first — running EPDM where the chart calls for Viton on sodium hypochlorite or sulfuric acid, or PVC where DEF and peracetic acid demand 316SS, will leak or contaminate long before the polyethylene ever does. Specify PVC, CPVC, PP, 316SS, or the noted elastomer (Viton, EPDM, or Aflas) exactly as the resistance chart lists it for your fluid and concentration, and confirm your service temperature stays under the 120 F / 48 C maximum. Handling regulated chemistry also carries labeling and sampling obligations — the tank label and signage compliance guide and the chemical sampling protocol cover what you owe the inspector and the lab. See the technical drawing on this page for stand and penetration geometry.
