Cone Bottom Tanks

Dome Top, 90° I.A. Cone Bottom Tank On Legs
 
Cone Bottom tanks offer complete drainage.  Belding Tank’s standard cone apex angle is 90°.  All Cone Bottoms are designed in accordance with ASTM D-3299 or D-4097 standards for elevated cone heads.  Cone Bottom tanks come standard with a primed carbon steel pipe leg stand with floor plates and a standard 18” under clearance from the tank bottom to the floor plates.  Therefore, when complete drainage is an absolute must, the Cone Bottom design is the only choice.

Leg stands can be provided as painted carbon steel, Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP), T-304 or T-316 stainless steel pipe legs or FRP skirt support, at additional cost.    

After selecting the Cone Bottom design, selecting the right top is the next step of the process. 

Closed Dome Top – This is the most frequently requested top style.  The ASME Flanged & Dished design gives it the most strength without adding thickness.  Each domed top comes standard with a top manhole with loose cover.

Closed Flat Top – A fixed, non-removable, flat surface.  If head space is at a premium, if agitator rails are a requirement or flat walking surface is required, the Closed Flat Top may be the best choice. 

Open Top with 90°Top Flanged Rim – When a Flat Cover, agitator rails or full access to the tank is required, the Open Top with 90° Top Flanged Rim option is the best choice. 

Open Top with Type II Top Rim  – When an open top will work and a Flat Cover and agitator rails are not required, this offers the most cost effective Flat Bottom tank design available.
