Stainless steel 110 gallon pressure tank
This is a 110 gallon stainless steel tank that was used for pressurized air in an industrial processing plant. The circumference is 64.5 inches and the length is about 69 inches, not including the nipples and fittings sticking out at each end. The walls of this are very thick. It has 2" pipe thread openings on each end and two 3/4" thread pipe nipples on the sides of the tank 180 degrees from each other. As you can see in the pictures, there are stainless steel fittings in each end and no fittings on the side nipples. It weighs over 300 lbs and scrap is $.75 per pound for stainless steel right now so it is worth $225 just in scrap. This could also make a great barbecue grill or smoker and it would never rust (much better than a propane tank). I was planning on using it for a solar hot water storage tank but changed my mind. The data plate was taken off of the tank before I purchased it. However, I was told that it was rated for up to 300 PSI. This seems to make sense to me considering that it is heavier than a propane tank of equal size and most 120 gallon propane tanks are rated for 300 PSI. I pressure tested it to 100 PSI with a compressor when I bought it and it did not leak.
