In the world of industrial, agricultural, and commercial operations, safe and efficient chemical storage is non-negotiable. At Tank and Barrel, we’re proud to offer a comprehensive lineup of ASTM certified vertical chemical tanks designed to meet the highest standards of durability, chemical resistance, and compliance. These tanks, manufactured by Snyder, adhere to ASTM D1998 specifications, ensuring they’re built to handle everything from fertilizers and pesticides to highly corrosive industrial chemicals.
With capacities ranging from 22 to 18,800 gallons, our tanks provide versatile options for various storage needs. Today, let’s dive into our two main categories: the 1.5 Specific Gravity (SG) and 1.9 SG vertical ASTM chemical tanks, including their subcategories and why they might be the perfect fit for your operations.
Why Choose ASTM Certified Tanks?
Before we get into the specifics, it’s worth highlighting what makes ASTM certification so crucial. The ASTM D1998 standard sets rigorous guidelines for polyethylene upright storage tanks, focusing on material quality, design integrity, and performance under stress. This certification guarantees that our tanks can withstand the rigors of chemical exposure without compromising safety or longevity. Whether you’re dealing with mild or aggressive substances, these tanks offer peace of mind through superior construction and compliance with industry benchmarks. Plus, they’re available in two material options: High-Density Linear Polyethylene (HDLPE) for cost-effective, lightweight applications, and Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) for enhanced resistance in tougher environments.
Our 1.5 SG Vertical ASTM Chemical Tanks
Rated at 1.5 specific gravity, these tanks are ideal for storing liquids that are moderately denser than water, such as certain fertilizers or milder corrosives. They’re engineered for reliability in settings where space is at a premium, thanks to their vertical design that maximizes storage efficiency without a large footprint.Under this category, we have two key subcategories:
- ASTM Certified Vertical HDLPE Tanks (1.5 SG): These are our go-to for general chemical storage. Made from high-density linear polyethylene, they’re lightweight yet robust, offering excellent value for everyday use. HDLPE provides good chemical compatibility and UV resistance, making them suitable for outdoor installations.
- ASTM Certified Vertical XLPE Tanks (1.5 SG): For more demanding applications, our XLPE variants step up with cross-linked polyethylene construction. This material enhances molecular bonding, resulting in superior impact strength and resistance to cracking under chemical stress. If you’re handling substances that could degrade standard plastics over time, XLPE is your best bet for long-term performance.
These tanks are perfect for agricultural operations storing pesticides or industrial facilities managing process chemicals. Check out the full selection here to find the right size for your needs.
Our 1.9 SG Vertical ASTM Chemical Tanks
For heavier-duty storage, our 1.9 SG tanks are built to handle denser and more aggressive liquids, like concentrated acids or specialized industrial solvents. Like their 1.5 SG counterparts, they meet ASTM D1998 standards and come in the same wide capacity range, ensuring scalability for growing operations.This category also features two subcategories:
- ASTM Certified Vertical HDLPE Tanks (1.9 SG): These provide a balance of affordability and strength for general heavy-chemical storage. The HDLPE material ensures corrosion resistance while keeping costs down, ideal for bulk storage in commercial environments.
- ASTM Certified Vertical XLPE Tanks (1.9 SG): When maximum durability is required, XLPE shines here with its advanced cross-linking technology. It offers exceptional resistance to permeation and environmental stress cracking, making it suitable for the most corrosive substances.
From wastewater treatment plants to manufacturing facilities, these tanks deliver unmatched reliability.
Applications and Benefits Across the Board
Our ASTM certified vertical chemical tanks aren’t just about compliance—they’re about optimizing your workflow.
