Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 130290.00 | Spargers, water, jet engine noise suppressor system | 300 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote and book at Class 300 using NMFC 130290 on the BOL; describe as “Jet Engine Water Sparger Manifold, crated.”
- Crate the sparger or bolt it to an ISPM 15 heat‑treated skid, cap all ports, cover perforations, and drain/dry to prevent residual water leaks.
- Mark center of gravity and lift points; use a spreader bar or wide forks to avoid bending perforated rings or damaging flanges.
- Bundle long ring sections with edge protectors and foam between segments; bag and label gaskets, bolts, and nozzle inserts inside the crate.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 300 removes density calculations, enabling faster, predictable LTL rate quoting for MRO and test-cell schedules.
- Accurate NMFC and robust crating reduce reclass, damage, and rebill risks, protecting margins on high-value aerospace components.
- Clear handling marks accelerate terminal throughput, trimming dwell time and helping minimize costly hush-house or test-cell downtime.
- Understanding the premium Class 300 rating supports budgeting and mode choices—compare LTL versus dedicated flatbed for oversized sections.
