Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
119510.00 Diffusers or Diffuser Drums, turbine, other than aircraft engine, steel 150

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Build sturdy skids or crates with V-block cradles or chocks to stop diffuser drums from rolling; band securely and guard vane edges and bolt holes.
  2. Mark NMFC 119510, Class 150 - Steel Turbine Diffuser/Drum (non-aircraft) on the BOL; include piece count and outer dimensions for accurate rating and pickup planning.
  3. Keep center of gravity low and clearly labeled; lift with slings or rigging points, and never insert forklift tines into the bore or across vane openings.
  4. For repair or return moves, cap machined faces with plywood or bolt-on covers, add rust inhibitor and desiccants, and photograph condition before pickup for claims support.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 150 eliminates density worksheets, cutting reclass risk and accelerating quote turnaround.
  • Clear non-aircraft designation avoids misrouting with aviation parts and reduces security-related delays.
  • Proper crating guidance lowers damage rates to precision vanes, minimizing outages for power and process facilities.
  • Predictable classification supports consistent LTL pricing and easier bundling with other turbine components.
