1500L 316L Sterile Vertical Stainless Steel Water Tank
1500L 316L Sterile Vertical Stainless Steel Water Tank
A 1500L sterile vertical stainless steel water tank built in 316L for high-purity service. The low-Ra interior and sanitary TIG welding support fast cleaning and low residue. Electropolishing is available when tighter cleanliness is required. The tank includes a top manway for inspection, tri-clamp sanitary connections, and a sterile vent option. Hydrostatic or leak test reports, material certificates, and passivation records can be provided.

Purpose and value
This 1500L 316L vertical tank targets pharmaceutical, biotech, and high-purity utility water applications. The vertical layout saves floor space and, combined with a conical bottom, reduces hold-up for faster drain-down and easier validation.
Design and construction
• Material: 316L stainless steel with controlled heat input and sanitary TIG welding
• Interior finish: brushed as standard; low-Ra target with optional electropolish for improved cleanability
• Layout: vertical on legs or skirt base; conical bottom to the outlet
• Manway: top quick-open with EPDM or silicone gasket
• Connections: tri-clamp sanitary as standard; ANSI/DIN flanges available
• Instrumentation: ports for temperature and level; calibration strip or sight glass available
Cleanability and hygiene
• Low-Ra interior reduces residue attachment and shortens cleaning cycles
• Fixed or rotating spray ball options; coverage can be validated in FAT/SAT
• Sterile vent filter port to protect the tank during cooling and operation
Documentation and tests
• Leak or hydrostatic test report (per design)
• Material certificates (e.g., EN 10204 3.1) and passivation record
• Optional surface roughness report and weld map
• Basic GA with nozzle schedule to support URS and qualification
Options
• Electropolished interior for lower Ra targets
• Insulation with stainless jacket for thermal stability
• Level gauge or transmitter, thermometer, sampling valve
• Sterile vent assembly and hygienic drain valves
Use notes and limitations
• Standard build is atmospheric and vented; if pressure service is required, specify design pressure and applicable code at RFQ stage.
• For elevated chlorides or aggressive cleaning chemistry, verify compatibility and cleaning program to protect 316L surfaces.
• Final dimensions and thickness are project specific and confirmed on the approved drawing.
How it compares
Compared with 304, 316L offers better resistance to chlorides and is preferred for high-purity environments. Versus a horizontal 1500L tank, the vertical version uses less floor space and drains faster, while requiring more headroom.
| Parameter | Typical Specification (1500L 316L Sterile Vertical) |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 1500 L (atmospheric, vented) |
| Layout | Vertical on adjustable legs or skirt; conical bottom to lowest-point outlet |
| Material | 316L stainless steel |
| Thickness (reference) | Shell/head 2.5 to 3.0 mm (project specific) |
| Interior finish | Brushed as standard; low-Ra target with optional electropolish (e.g., 0.6 to 0.8 um) |
| Connections | Tri-clamp sanitary as standard; ANSI/DIN flanges optional |
| Nozzles (typ.) | Inlet DN25–DN40; Outlet DN32–DN50; Drain DN25; Vent DN25 (sterile filter port); CIP DN25; Instrument DN20 |
| Manway | Top quick-open, 300 to 400 mm |
| Reference dimensions | Dia. 900 to 1100 mm; straight height 1700 to 2000 mm (without nozzles) |
| Options | Electropolish, insulation with SS jacket, sterile vent assembly, spray ball, level gauge/transmitter |
| Documents | Leak/hydrostatic test, material certificates, passivation record; optional surface report and weld map |
• Pharmaceutical and biotech utility rooms (PW, RO/DI buffer; sterile vent option)
• High-purity process water for cosmetics and personal care
• Beverage plants requiring hygienic storage and fast cleanout
• Pilot facilities and validation labs that need documented tanks
• Any compact room where a vertical layout saves floor space
