Q:How Can I Get a Quote, and What Information Is Required?
At Allland Steel, we are committed to providing you with a timely, accurate, and competitive quotation for your project needs. To ensure our sales team can respond with the greatest efficiency and precision, it’s essential that you provide us with a complete set of technical and logistical specifications.
Think of this as a checklist for success. Providing the following information in your initial inquiry will allow us to bypass preliminary questions and move directly to preparing a comprehensive proposal for you.
Your Quotation Checklist: The 7 Key Pieces of Information
Please include the following details in your email or inquiry form. The more complete the information, the faster and more accurate your quote will be.
1. The Standard
This is the technical foundation of your request. Please specify the international standard the pipe must conform to.
2. Material Grade
Within the standard, the specific grade determines the pipe’s mechanical properties, such as its strength.
- Example: Grade B, X60 PSL2, Grade 3
3. Full Dimensions
We need three key measurements to understand the physical product you require.
- Example: Outer Diameter (OD) 610mm, Wall Thickness (WT) 12.7mm, Length 12m
4. Total Quantity
Please provide the total quantity needed. This allows us to calculate production time and provide the best possible pricing.
- Example: 5,000 tons, or 1,200 pieces
5. Pipe Ends and Coating Requirements
These details ensure the pipe arrives ready for your specific application.
- Pipe Ends: Typically “Beveled Ends” for welding, or “Plain Ends”.
- Coating: Specify the required internal and/or external coating. For example, “External 3LPE coating” or “Internal FBE lining”.
6. Destination Port
To provide you with a CFR (Cost and Freight) or CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) price, we need to know your nearest major seaport.
- Example: Port of Jebel Ali, UAE; Port of Rotterdam, Netherlands
7. Any Additional Requirements
Include any other special requirements for your project.
- Example: “Requires EN 10204 3.2 certification,” or “Special packaging with waterproof wrapping is needed.”
