UNION COMPRESSION STEEL, 13.8MM 400KG 733167

The catalogue name carries 3 specifications — material steel, size 13.8 mm and weight 400 kg — and a bid against this code is a bid for exactly that.

It is one of 23 items in Unions Steel Compression (codes 733151–733168 among those listed here); the neighbouring codes are the same article in other sizes, materials or ratings, so a requisition often carries several of them together.

To buy it, post the code with the quantity in pieces, the vessel's port and its ETA; verified ship chandlers activated at that port price the line sealed, and you compare the bids side by side.
