1000L Horizontal Stainless Steel Water Tank
1000L Horizontal Stainless Steel Water Tank
A low height 1000L horizontal stainless steel water tank for buffer and storage duty in rooms with limited headroom. Dual saddle supports provide a wide, stable base while keeping overall height compact. Built in 304 or 316L with sanitary TIG welding and validated passivation, the tank includes tri-clamp or flanged ports and a lowest-point outlet for easy drain-down. Leak or hydrostatic test and material certificates can be provided.

Why choose the horizontal 1000L
When you need one cubic meter of capacity but the ceiling is low or pipe racks block the space, a horizontal layout solves the height constraint. The wide saddle contact spreads the load, and insulation wraps evenly for chilled or hot service.
Design and construction
• Orientation: horizontal on dual saddle supports with anchor plates
• Material: 304 or 316L stainless steel (project specific thickness)
• Interior finish: brushed as standard; mirror or electropolish available for lower Ra targets
• Connections: tri-clamp sanitary or ANSI/DIN flanges for utilities
• Manway: side or top quick-open type with EPDM or silicone gasket
• Drainage: outlet placed at the true low point with internal slope to reduce hold-up
Documentation and tests
• Leak or hydrostatic test report (depending on design)
• Material certificates and passivation record
• Basic GA and nozzle schedule; weld map and surface report available on request
Options that add value
• Insulation with stainless jacket for temperature stability
• Spray ball (fixed or rotating) and CIP-ready ports
• Level gauge or transmitter; thermometer; sight glass
• Sterile vent port for high-purity lines
Use notes and limitations
• Standard build is atmospheric and vented; for pressure service specify design pressure and applicable code at RFQ stage.
• Horizontal tanks require longer floor length than vertical tanks; confirm footprint early.
• For higher chlorides or aggressive cleaning at elevated temperature, choose 316L and follow a controlled cleaning program.
How it compares
Against a vertical 1000L tank, the horizontal version reduces overall height and simplifies jacket insulation. The trade-off is larger floor footprint and the need to plan CIP coverage with one or two spray heads.
| Parameter | Typical Specification (1000L Horizontal) |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 1000 L, atmospheric by default (vented) |
| Orientation | Horizontal on dual saddle supports with anchor plates |
| Material | 304 or 316L stainless steel |
| Thickness (reference) | Shell/head 2.0 to 3.0 mm (project specific) |
| Interior finish | Brushed (typ. Ra 0.8 to 1.6 um); mirror or electropolish optional |
| Connections | Tri-clamp sanitary as standard; ANSI/DIN flanges optional |
| Nozzles (typ.) | Inlet DN25–DN40; Outlet DN32–DN50 at lowest point; Drain DN25; Vent DN25; CIP DN25; Instrument DN20 |
| Manway | Side or top quick-open, 300 to 400 mm |
| Reference dimensions | Dia. 900 to 1100 mm; shell length 1200 to 1600 mm; overall height kept low for pipe clearance |
| Options | Insulation with SS jacket, spray ball, sterile vent, level gauge/transmitter |
| Documents | Leak/hydrostatic test report, material certificates, passivation record |
• Water treatment: RO/DI buffer under low pipe racks or mezzanines
• Beverage and food: process water buffer where height is limited
• Utilities and HVAC: insulated buffer for chilled or tempered water
• Retrofit projects and mobile skids that require low center of gravity
• Compact plants that need 1000 L capacity with minimal overall height
