Snyder Industries 6500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Double Wall Tank

One plant, one state, one tall shipment

Everything in this family leaves the same gate. The sheet lists Lincoln, Nebraska as the plant and Nebraska as the only ship-from state, so the lane is settled before you choose a part number and the planning belongs at your end. The item that arrives is one piece, 120 inches square and 199 inches tall, at 4,000 pounds empty. Ten feet across is wider than a standard door opening and over sixteen feet is taller than most roller shutters, which makes the route the first thing to survey and the last thing people actually check. Walk it: the gate frame, the overhead lines, the branches, the lintel, the surface the truck has to stand on and the turning room at the far end. Confirm the lifting equipment has reach as well as capacity, and have the slab poured and cured before the tank is scheduled. The sheet publishes no crane capacity, no rigging method, no permit and no escort arrangement, so none is claimed on this page; what it gives you are the dimensions, the weight, the class and the mode, and those are enough to brief a haulier and a rigger honestly. With the lane settled, the reason to order this listing rather than a shellmate is a pair of figures on its own sheet. The rating is 1.5, carrying 81,315 pounds of maximum contents against 54,210 pounds of plain water, so it is written for a product close to water rather than for something much denser. The service limit is 140 F / 60 C, the higher of the two limits in this shell. Warm and water-like is the combination, and if your product is neither, the limit and the rating should not be what chooses your tank. Settle the working volume before you order, because a warm product needs more freeboard than a cold one: use the tank sizing calculator against the freeboard discipline in the tank sizing guide.

Two weights and two limits on one 6500 shell

Four part numbers share this 199 inch shell, and the sheet separates them by listed weight: this tank and 5670000N40 at 4,000 pounds, the other two at 5,300. Among the lighter pair, this is the black listing whose material field reads crosslinked linear polyethylene and whose sheet carries the 140 F / 60 C limit. That is the whole published case for it, and it is enough: warm service on a product carrying the 1.5 rating. Nothing on any sheet in the group explains what the codes mean, so this page offers no interpretation; describe the product, the strength and the working temperature and we will name the part number and confirm the published figures before anything is quoted. Colour is worth one sentence because it has a daily consequence. This shell is black, which keeps daylight off the contents and costs you any chance of reading a level through the wall, so on a tank whose only opening is at 199 inches the level arrangement has to be designed rather than assumed. The outside rows are the size question. 5660000N40 puts 5,500 gallons on this identical 120 inch square at 172 inches, which is the row when the roof is the binding constraint, and 1006400N46 puts 8,700 gallons on a larger 142 inch square at 197 inches, which is the row when the yard is generous and the deliveries are frequent. Work it from the clear height at the final position and from your delivery schedule, in that order.

The fill point sits at 199 inches

• The fill opening: an 18 inch threaded vented manway, the only opening the sheet publishes, and it sits at the top of a 199 inch shell. That single fact shapes the installation more than anything else on the page, because the fill, the inspection and the cleaning all happen there and nobody should be climbing to take a delivery. Bring the coupling down to working level wherever the arrangement allows.
• The vent: listed as part of the manway. A warm headspace in a slim shell moves a lot of air for a small change in level, so the vent path is the first thing to check on a hot day and the last thing to restrict on any day.
• Access: a fixed ladder or platform and a fall protection arrangement are designed with the tank rather than added afterwards, and they are cheaper to build before the pipework is in the way.
• The outlet field: it reads "1 Manway / Lid" and the inlet field is empty. That names an opening and not a pipe size; no outlet dimension, thread, bulkhead, flange or valve is published on this sheet, so none is claimed on this page. Tell us the duty, the temperature and the line size and we will confirm what this part number carries before a pump is chosen.
• Warm duty: gasket material, valve seats and any flexible connection are selected against temperature as well as chemistry, so name the working temperature at order time rather than after the first warm batch.
• Structure: the sheet lists 8 lifting lugs, ladder lugs and two flange lines, with no position or size given for either line.
• The space between the walls: no monitoring port, gauge or alarm is published, so that arrangement is specified separately and inspected on a written schedule.
• Limits: 140 F / 60 C, a specific gravity rating of 1.5, and a 3 Year Warranty.

Give us the product, the strength and the temperature together and the wetted system is chosen once, correctly, against the duty you actually run.

Warm rinse and dilute solution duty

A 1.5 rating with the higher service limit suits warm, water-like duty at bulk volume: clean-in-place and sanitation make-up in food, beverage and dairy plants, heated rinse and wash-down supply, boiler house and cooling tower treatment storage, dilute solution holding at a water or wastewater works, laundry and industrial wash operations, and process water buffering in manufacturing where the room itself runs warm. At this size the site receives by hose on a schedule rather than handling totes, and the containment moulded into the vessel is what makes taking that delivery indoors, or on a surface that drains somewhere, a planned decision rather than a risk somebody absorbs. Four references belong with the order. The usable volume of a contained tank is not the nameplate figure, per the Captor double wall freeboard sizing guide. Warm service works the wall hardest where nobody looks, which the wall thickness at the vapour saturated headspace guide explains in detail. How the space between two walls is examined is set out in the cathodic disbondment testing guide for double wall interstitial spaces. And where private fire water is the duty, start with the fire water reservoir design guide for rural and remote sites; no claim about that duty is made here.

Four thousand pounds and a tall envelope to plan

One plant, Lincoln, Nebraska; one ship-from state, Nebraska; LTL at class 250 with no NMFC number; and a load of 120 by 120 by 199 inches at 4,000 pounds. Price your own lane with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. The sheet describes no crane, no rigging arrangement, no permit and no escort, and this page adds none. Plan from the envelope instead, because the dimensions are what make this a scheduled delivery rather than a routine one, and the weight is the easy half. Lift under the base as your rigger specifies, never by the manway, and keep the shell upright through the site. Set it plumb on the cured, level surface in its final position, check it in two directions while it is empty, and confirm the whole 120 inch footprint is bearing evenly before anything is connected. Fill with clean water, hold the 54,210 pound load, and read the manway seal, the base line and the pad in good light under load. Drain it, let it dry, open the space between the walls and write the date and the part number on the shell. Then put the first look at the space between the walls on the maintenance calendar the same week, not at the end of the first year, because the habit is what turns a second barrier into evidence. Chalk the full-water line on the outside after the first fill; it is the level every later reading gets checked against.
