6,500 gallons in black at 1.9 specific gravity, twelve feet on a ten foot base
The Snyder 7140300C34 is a black polyethylene vertical storage tank, 120 inches across and 145 inches tall, holding 6,500 gallons at 1,500 pounds. It is the Chowchilla 6,500: a tanker and a quarter on a ten foot circle at just over twelve feet, eight inches shorter than the 6,500 N grades molded elsewhere, with the 18 inch threaded, vented manway opened from a platform and a black wall that keeps light off the load. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.9, or 102,999 pounds of contents against 54,210 for water, for concentrated acid, ferric and the heavy brines at strength. A 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead outlet, a 3 year warranty, and freight at class 300 from Chowchilla, California.

The West Coast 6,500
West Coast plants get this molding from Chowchilla, and the eight inches it saves against the 153 inch tanks is often the difference under an existing roof. Full at the rating it puts 102,999 pounds on a 120 inch circle: a full-contact engineered slab, sized per the concrete pad sizing guide, inside a berm scaled to the tank when the liquid is regulated, with the empty tank strapped against wind before the first fill. Black polyethylene absorbs the ultraviolet that ages a white wall and passes no light to the liquid; it runs warmer in the sun, so shade if the chemical must stay cool, and it hides the level, so a sender read at the ground is the gauge.The tank sizing calculator turns feed rate and delivery interval into a volume, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve, which for a dense chemical includes freeboard for thermal expansion.
The 6,500s on the ten foot base, and the 6,200 and 6,600
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7140300C34 (this tank, black, 1.9 SG) | 6,500 | 120 x 145 in | 1,500 lb |
| 7140000N40 | 6,500 | 120 x 153 in | 1,450 lb |
| 7140000N46 | 6,500 | 120 x 153 in | 1,450 lb |
| 7140000N33 | 6,500 | 120 x 153 in | 1,450 lb |
| 8220000C34 (black) | 6,200 | 120 x 140 in | 1,350 lb |
| 5300400N40 | 6,600 | 120 x 158 in | 1,900 lb |
The 7140000 N grades are the same 6,500 gallons on this base at 153 inches from the other plants, in the other chemical walls. The 8220000C34 is the black 6,200 five inches lower for a tighter roof, and the 5300400N40 stands 6,600 gallons at 158 inches in the other chemical wall.

What connects to it
- Outlet: 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, at the base; tell us the liquid when ordering and the fitting is matched to it, with a flanged transition, a flexible connector to hard pipe, and the valve supported off the pad in the material the chemical calls for.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, 145 inches up; a platform with a rail for anyone who opens it. The fill line runs to the floor through a dip tube, the vent runs outdoors when the liquid fumes, and the vent is sized for the delivery pump's air displacement.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Twelve feet of liquid above a 3 inch outlet is a strong flooded suction, and the outlet drains a full tank in a working shift; set the pump below the outlet so gravity primes it, with a low-level float to stop it before it draws air. The manway stays closed so vapor stays in, the tank carries the name of the one chemical in it, and the wall above the liquid line gets a look with a light at every opening. Freeze protection goes on the valve and the first pipe run, not the tank; the body ices from the top down and shrugs it off.
West Coast plants that take a tanker
Ferric and other dense coagulants at a water plant, caustic or acid at an industrial plant, brine at a food plant, and a fertilizer solution tank at a co-op. If the site rules call for a second wall, the Captor double wall freeboard guide explains what a contained tank gives up in usable volume at this size. A fire reserve wants a water wall, which the fire-water reservoir design guide covers, and where a reuse system stores treatment chemical between stages, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows where a tank this size sits.
From Chowchilla, as a permitted load
The 7140300C34 ships from Chowchilla, California as freight at class 300 as the sheet lists it; at 120 inches across and 145 long on the deck it is a permitted load, and the freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP, with the listed price before freight. A crane stands 1,500 pounds up with straps under the body, never through the manway. Before the chemical, a water fill to the manway held long enough to check the outlet fitting and the pad edge, then drained and dried. Nobody leaves the pad during the first delivery; watch it from the first gallon to the last. Photograph the outlet fitting from below before the pipe goes on; a slow weep is easier to compare against than to describe.
