Capacity & dimensions

Find the right tank size for your site.

Our sectional steel tanks are built from stacked 1.1 m rings. Pick a diameter and the number of rings and you have the working capacity — from 5 kL up to roughly 3,700 kL in standard configurations, with custom builds beyond that.

How the tanks scale

Two numbers decide your capacity

Diameter sets the footprint; the number of 1.1 m rings sets the height. Together they give the volume. Use the tool below to see the capacity, height and footprint for any standard combination, or scroll to the full table.
