IBC tote math error...

BarnyardEngineering · May 24, 2021

I was transferring some liquid fertilizer into an IBC tote this afternoon, and noticed the numbers going up the side have a small math error...

50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 275, 300... All equally spaced up the side of the cube-shaped tank.

Anybody notice this on any totes they might have?

liquid fertilizer. Thay are all like
that.Never gave it much thought as I
figured it was close enough for what I
was doing

If it is truly a 300 gallon tote it was most likely done on purpose as that is a very odd size for a plastic tote.

Most ICB plastic totes come in 220; 275; 330; and 550 gallons with 275; and 330 being the most common.
All these sizes are devisable of 55.

The anomaly mentioned is missing the 250 mark.
Ad that mark and the 300 mark goes away making it a 275 gallon tank, not 300.
