Snyder Industries 6500 Gallon XLPE Cone Bottom Tank

The lightest of the four, and the duty it fits

This listing and 7180000N40 are the two 2,100 pound tanks in a group of four, and they are the ones to buy unless your product is denser than water. The sheet is direct about what that buys: a specific gravity rating of 1.5 and 81,315 pounds of max contents on 6,500 gallons. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon and fills this shell at 54,210 pounds, so there is real margin over a water-weight product and no reason to reach past it. The two heavy duty listings on the same shell, 7180000N42 and 7180000N48, are 2,800 pounds each with their own higher rating, and the sheets separate them from this one by weight, rating, max contents and freight class and by nothing else that is printed. No wall thickness and no construction account appears anywhere on them, so this page invents none. Between this listing and 7180000N40, the only field that moves is colour: this one is black, that one is Natural White, and both are 2,100 pounds at the same rating. Black is the shell for a tank standing outdoors, which is where most cone bottom vessels of this size actually live. Natural white is the indoor answer, bought so somebody can read the liquid line through the wall. Choose on where the tank will stand rather than on preference and the decision makes itself. What the sheet does not carry, on any of the four, is a stand: no legs, no skirt, no support ring, no bolt pattern. A cone bottom tank has no flat floor and cannot stand on its own bottom, so the structure is a separate item with its own drawing, lead time and price, and no stand height, rated load or stand material appears on this page. Specify it with the cone bottom tank stand compatibility matrix and ask us to confirm the fit against this part number before the order goes in. Then measure the room in the order the building forces: stand, plus 273 inches of shell, plus clearance over the manway, with separate room under the cone for whatever the discharge feeds, all taken down from the lowest fixed thing over the spot. Settle the volume before the structure with the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

Reading a quad when only weight and rating move

This is the cleanest family table in the range, because the first four rows differ in exactly two fields. Every dimension is identical, so nothing about the pad, the stand envelope, the aisle or the height changes when you move between them, and no drawing needs redoing if the rating decision changes late. That is genuinely useful on a project where the product specification lands after the civil work has started. The two rows underneath are the shape alternative and they change everything about the site. 5280200N40 holds 6,000 gallons in a 142 inch circle at 136 inches for 1,100 pounds, and SII-5320100N43 holds 7,400 gallons in that circle at 160 inches for 1,600 pounds. Those are low, wide vessels that go under a roof this one will never fit beneath, and they ask for floor in return. This listing is the choice when the floor is spoken for and the sky is not. One more practical point about buying the lighter of the four: at 2,100 pounds empty it is the easier tank to handle on the day it is installed, and on a 273 inch shell the handling is the part of the project most likely to go wrong. Since a bulk vessel gets read by inspectors, drivers and contractors who never saw the purchase order, plan the outside of it while the inside is still being argued about: the tank label and signage guide works through how the marking schemes reconcile on one tank.

The eighteen inch vented manway, and what the sheet leaves blank

• The manway and vent: an 18 inch threaded vented manway, with the vent arriving as part of it rather than as a separate item. It is the fitting that keeps the wall out of trouble when a pump is drawing from the bottom of a full column, so treat it as a maintained item and not as a hole. Keep it clear, check it whenever the tank is opened, and never blank, tape or paint it.
• Height of the work: the manway sits at 273 inches plus the stand, so a platform or fixed ladder with a fall protection plan belongs in the same drawing as the structure. Bring the fill to a coupling at working level. The sheet notes ladder lugs.
• The outlet field: it reads 1 Manway / Lid on this sheet, naming an opening and not a discharge. We print the field as written and claim nothing further: no outlet dimension, no thread, no bulkhead and no valve. Tell us the line size, the valve type and the product and we will confirm what this part number carries before it ships.
• Below the cone: carry the valve, any reducer and the first run of pipe on their own steelwork off the stand, never on the tank, with a flexible connector at the first joint. At 81,315 pounds of rated contents, the low point of a full column is the wrong place for hanging weight.
• Structure listed: 4 tiedown lugs, 8 lifting lugs, ladder lugs and 2 flange lines. Use the lifting lugs when it is stood up and the tiedown lugs to keep it restrained afterwards.
• What the sheet does not give: no inlet, no separate lid size, no warranty term and no NMFC number. The published ratings are a specific gravity of 1.5, 54,210 pounds of water at 6,500 gallons, 81,315 pounds of max contents, a 30 degree cone and a limit of 100 F / 37 C.

On a vessel twenty-two feet nine inches tall, nobody is judging the level by eye through a black wall, so the instrument is the whole picture and the wrong one is confidently wrong for a year: the level gauge selection guide for chemical service sets radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic and magnetostrictive against each other on the points that decide it in practice.

Blending, buffering and a full drain at every changeover

The lighter rating puts this tank in the middle of everyday bulk duty rather than at the heavy end. Liquid fertiliser and crop input blending at an agricultural retailer, polymer and coagulant make-up at a water or wastewater works, process and treated water holding that still has to drain fully, batch preparation and intermediate storage in manufacturing, wash and rinse water systems emptied between runs, and buffer volume between two stages that run at different rates. The thread running through all of them is the changeover, and the changeover is the cone's argument: at 30 degrees the vessel keeps draining toward one point rather than leaving a layer on a flat floor, so a product change is a rinse instead of an excavation, and at 6,500 gallons that is a real saving in time, disposal and contamination risk. The black shell is the one to have where the tank stands in the open, which is where most of these end up. The caution that belongs with the shape is height: twenty-two feet nine inches of column stratifies if the product will let it, so plan the draw point and the mixing together rather than one after the other. Check your liquid in our chemical compatibility reference before any gasket or valve is chosen.

Standing it up at your end, class three hundred

Moulded at Lincoln, Nebraska, with Nebraska as the origin state on the sheet, so the central lanes are short and the coasts are long. The freight class reads 300, a numeric class rather than a mode, and the sheet publishes no NMFC number; the two heavy duty listings on this same shell carry a different class figure on their own sheets, with no explanation printed on any of them. The shipping size is 90 inches by 90 inches by 273 inches at 2,100 pounds, so the length is what the carrier prices and the weight is almost incidental. Price the lane to your own ZIP with the freight cost estimator; the listed price is before freight. It arrives lying down. Standing it up is the single operation on this project most likely to go wrong, so plan it properly: a nominated machine, a nominated person, a clear circle of ground to swing in, and the stand already set, levelled and anchored before the trailer books in. The sheet publishes no crane, no rigging, no permit and no escort detail, and none is stated here; settle the offload equipment and the window with us in advance. Lift under the body or by the lifting lugs the sheet lists, never by the manway, and get the tiedowns on the moment it is upright, because an empty shell this tall takes wind at a speed that surprises everyone the first time. Then prove the installation with clean water rather than product: hold the 54,210 pound load, read the manway seal, the cone joint, the stand feet and the pad edge in daylight, and leave it standing full overnight before anything is connected. Write the pad height and the discharge height on the site plan while the tape is still out; the next pipe run needs both and nobody wants to climb for them twice. Walk the base after the first hard rain; a pad that shifts shows it at the edge first.
