Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
119400.00 Devices, liquid level indicating or control, see Note, item 119401, in boxes or crates 92.5

Notes

Note 119401: NOTE-Applies only on float operated pneumatic or electric devices that control flow valves or liquid level indicators.

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use NMFC 119400 at Class 92.5 with boxes or crates selected to match weight and fragility. Example: ultrasonic level sensor kits in double-wall boxes; heavier control panels crated on a skid.
  2. Shield delicate parts before packing. Cap pipe threads, guard float arms and sight tubes, and use foam-in-place or custom-cut foam. Mark This Side Up to protect internal mechanisms.
  3. Control moisture and static for electronics. Bag assemblies with desiccant, use anti-static liners for PCBs, and avoid tight cable bends to prevent sensor damage.
  4. Document clearly. Include model numbers and packing list, confirm equipment ships dry (no residual liquids), and verify any exceptions per the referenced Note, item 119401.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

Business Value

  • Predictable costs from a fixed Class 92.5 rating—no density math and fewer reclass charges.
  • Packaging flexibility (box or crate) lets you balance protection with freight spend on sensitive gauges and controllers.
  • Reduced claims risk by bracing fragile float and sight-glass components, keeping production lines and service calls on schedule.
  • Simpler carrier and TMS setup: one NMFC for all liquid level controls speeds quoting and vendor compliance.
