Italian term or phrase: legaccio
.. nelle stive 2 e 3 sono presenti ..... tonnellate di zinco GOB (Good Ordinary Brand) in lingotti di dimensioni ..... per 2.973 legacci e 118.910 lingotti ..

...sono state strofinate le superfici dei pani di zinco appartenenti al legaccio, ancora presente sulle banchina e appartenente al lotto High Grade ...

...prelevato un campione di acqua presente sulla superficie dei pani al quarto levello del legaccio ...

..per la stiva 3 circa 20% del complessivo carico, pari a circa 700 legacci

if lingotti are ingots what are legacci??

bundle / sheaf
Explanation:
Dal contesto il “legaccio” e un gruppo di lingoti tenuti insieme con una sorta di corda, od altro.

L’unica cosa alla quale mi fa pensare questo “legaccio” e il “fascio”.

Fascio = 1 bundle; (mazzo) sheaf*; bunch: un - di carte, di fieno, di frecce, a sheaf of papers, of hay, of arrows; un - di fiori, a bunch of flowers; un - di legna, di libri, a bundle of sticks, of books / (anat.) un - di nervi, a bundle of nerves / andare, mandare in -, (in rovina) to be ruined, to ruin / mettere in un -, to bundle together
2 (mat.) sheaf*: teoria dei fasci, sheaf theory / - di curve, pencil
3 (di luce) beam / (fis.) - di radiazioni, beam of radiations
4 (fig. letter.) (fardello) burden, load
5 pl. (st. romana) fasces: - littorio, lictor's fasces => a bundle of rods and among them an ax with projecting blade borne before ancient Roman magistrates as a badge of authority

Dunque, “bundle” or “sheaf”.

Thanks very much for you help. It all became clearer when I worked out there were always 40 lingotti in a legaccio!! So I went for "bundle". Thanks also to Rosalind.
