Load check

Full of 96–98% sulfuric acid, this tank would hold about 15,000 lb of acid (about 15 lb per gallon). It is rated 1.9 SG, above the roughly 1.84 specific gravity of concentrated acid.

⌂

Containment

This is a single wall tank. To capture leaks and acid fumes without a separate dike, consider a HDPE double wall tank.

⌀

Fittings & gaskets

Up to 75% acid, PVC, CPVC and polypropylene fittings are rated Excellent; above 75%, specify PVDF fittings. Seal bulkheads with Viton® gaskets. No welded flanges in the sidewall for sulfuric acid. See fittings.
