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:

  1. Quote and book at Class 300 using NMFC 130290 on the BOL; describe as “Jet Engine Water Sparger Manifold, crated.”
  2. 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.
  3. Mark center of gravity and lift points; use a spreader bar or wide forks to avoid bending perforated rings or damaging flanges.
  4. 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.
