Snyder Industries 90 Gallon 15 Degree Plastic Vertical Open Top Cone Bottom Tank with Cover

The 90 Gallon 15 Degree Vertical Open Top Cone Bottom Tank from Snyder Industries is built for batch processes where you need to drain the vessel completely between runs.The 15-degree cone bottom and open-top design with a 14" cover make it a working tank for mixing, settling, and dispensing chemistry at a bench or small-plant scale.It molds from High Density Linear Polyethylene rated to 1.5 specific gravity, stands 43" tall on a 30" diameter footprint, and weighs about 50 lb empty so a single person can position it before it's plumbed and filled.

Will it work for your process?

This is a 90 gallon vertical cone-bottom vessel carrying certifications 2285 and 2282.The 1.5 specific gravity rating is the number that governs what you can safely store: multiply your fluid's SG by full volume to check the load.Filled with water this tank carries roughly 751 lb, and at its maximum rated 1.5 SG contents it holds up to about 1,126 lb of liquid weight on the cone and support structure below it.If you're sizing a stand or ring to hold the cone, plan around that max figure, not the water number.Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm your gallon target and weight before you order.Because this is an open-top cone tank, every top penetration lands on the single 14" cover, so plan fill, level, vent, and drain around that limited footprint — our top fitting placement strategy guide walks through laying out those penetrations to avoid operator error.For how the 15-degree cone compares to steeper 30- and 45-degree cones on drain speed, see the cone bottom buyer's guide.See the technical drawing on this page for the cone geometry and cover dimensions.

Chemical compatibility

This tank is HDLPE rated to 1.5 specific gravity, and compatibility is drawn from the Snyder Industries OEM chemical resistance chart — which is concentration- and temperature-specific, so confirm your exact chemical, concentration, temperature, and fitting plus gasket materials before service.Within the 1.5 SG rating, this tank suits acetic acid to 60%, aluminum sulfate to 50%, calcium chloride to 40%, ferrous sulfate to 20%, magnesium chloride to 30%, sodium carbonate to 30%, and ozonated water up to 10 PPM.DEF at 32.5% and urea solution at 50% only require a 1.5 SG tank, so this 1.5-rated vessel carries them with margin to spare — a plus if diesel exhaust fluid or urea is your load.Most of these call for PVC fittings with EPDM gaskets; DEF runs 316SS with EPDM, and acetic acid and urea use PP or PVC.Verify each on the Chemical Compatibility Database.

The mistake to avoid

Don't put a heavier chemistry in this 1.5 SG tank than it's rated for.A range of common water-treatment and process chemicals — ferric chloride at 50%, hydrochloric acid at 37%, hydrofluoric acid at 48%, hydrogen peroxide at 50%, sodium hypochlorite under 16.5%, phosphoric acid at 85%, sulfuric acid at 98%, potassium hydroxide (saturated), and ethylene glycol — require a higher 1.5 SG tank, not this one.The gasket and fitting step up too: sulfuric acid at 98% wants CPVC with Viton, while ferric chloride, HCl, HF, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid, and sodium hypochlorite move to PVC or PP with Viton.If your fluid is on that list, step up to a 1.9 SG vessel rather than forcing this one to carry it.When in doubt, confirm the resin and rating against your chemistry before you fill.
