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.

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......................

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......................
