7,650 gallons in black at 1.9 specific gravity, ten feet tall on a twelve foot base
The Snyder 5300700C34 is a black polyethylene vertical storage tank, 142 inches across and 122 inches tall, holding 7,650 gallons at 1,400 pounds. It is the big low tank: a tanker and a half spread out on a twelve foot circle under a ten foot roof line, with the 18 inch threaded, vented manway reached from a step instead of a platform, in a black wall that keeps light off the load. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.9, or 121,222 pounds of contents against 63,801 for water, so it holds 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 400 from Lincoln, Nebraska.

Floor instead of height, at tanker scale
A plant with a low roof and a yard buys this shape: the same volume the 120 inch tanks carry at fifteen feet, at ten. A low wide tank has the lowest center of gravity in its class and needs the least strapping, and a manway at 122 inches is opened from a step. Full at the rating it puts 121,222 pounds on a 142 inch circle, and a rotationally molded floor bears on all of it: an engineered slab in full contact per the concrete pad sizing guide, inside a berm sized to the tank when the liquid is regulated. 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.Check the volume against the feed rate and the delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator, and take the reserve and the expansion freeboard from the tank sizing guide.
Grades on the 142 x 122 inch tank, and the tall 7,500 and 7,900
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5300700C34 (this tank, black, low, 1.9 SG) | 7,650 | 142 x 122 in | 1,400 lb |
| 5300700C37-BLACK (black, low) | 7,650 | 142 x 122 in | 1,400 lb |
| 5300700C26 (white, low) | 7,650 | 142 x 122 in | 1,400 lb |
| 5300700C37 (white, low) | 7,650 | 142 x 122 in | 1,400 lb |
| 7370000N40 (tall) | 7,900 | 120 x 177 in | 2,700 lb |
| 7440000N40 (slim) | 7,500 | 102 x 234 in | 2,450 lb |
The C37-BLACK is the other black tank in this shell and the C26 and C37 the white ones, all at this weight, each rated as its own sheet says. The 7370000N40 stands 7,900 gallons on a 120 inch base at 177 inches, and the 7440000N40 puts 7,500 on a 102 inch base at 234 inches, nearly twenty feet, for the site with a high bay and no yard at all.

Bulkhead and manway, both within reach
- 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, 122 inches up, reached from a step; fill through a dip tube to the floor, vent outside on anything that fumes, and size the vent for the delivery pump.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Ten feet of liquid above a 3 inch outlet is a flooded suction to the last few inches, and the outlet drains a full tank in a working shift; mount the pump below the outlet for a gravity prime, and fit a low-level float so it never pumps air. Keep the lid shut between fills, name the chemical on the wall, and inspect above the liquid line with a light; that band of wall is where trouble starts. If the site freezes, protect the outlet valve and the first length of pipe with trace or insulation; the polyethylene body itself tolerates ice from the top down.
Low roofs, big deliveries
Coagulant or caustic at a water plant with a low chemical building, brine at a food plant, liquid fertilizer at a co-op with a low shed, and process chemical on an open pad where wind rules out a tall tank. A fire reserve belongs in a water-rated tank; the fire-water reservoir design guide covers why this chemical wall is the wrong buy for that job. For a reuse system, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows the stage where a chemical tank this size sits.
From Lincoln to the pad
The 5300700C34 ships from Lincoln, Nebraska as freight at class 400 as the sheet lists it; at 142 inches across it is a load the carrier handles outside the trailer, and the freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP, with the listed price before freight. A crane or a forklift with long forks sets 1,400 pounds on the pad with straps under the body, never through the manway. The first fill is water, to the manway, held while the pad edge and the outlet fitting are watched; it is drained and dried before any chemical goes in. Save the pallet; a tank this wide that ever has to move again is easier to move on it. Put the tank's part number on the maintenance log the day it lands; five years on, nobody remembers which shell it is.
