GavinBrigade Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Pulling 500 gallon water tank on R608F pumper for refurb. Any estimates on tank weight? Looks to measure 67 1/2 x 113, maybe 3/16 thick plus baffles. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 So is it a round tank? 67" dia x 113" long? Using an online calculator that is about 1300# for 3/16" wall, though that does not take into effect the end plates or baffles. Adding a few hundred pounds would maybe get you in the ballpark. https://www.industrialmetalsupply.com/Weight-Calculator Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

GavinBrigade Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Square. 67” width 113” long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 So using that calculator it is 400# each panel(1600# for all four sides). The ends are 250# each. So that makes it 2100# just for the tank. Add a few baffles(say #200 each) and you are at 2500# for rough numbers. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
