    Abbreviations on my receipts.

    Hello all,

    I have another “name that metal” question with a twist. I’m currently in the process of getting organized and putting a spreadsheet together to record what I bring in each time I cash in and how much I get for each material. Plus this will help me know what my yard classifies as each category. I’m going through my past receipts and there are a few abbreviations that I don’t know. Yes I already tried searching Google and the forum.




    The ones I DO know are:

    Clean Alu, Painted Alu, Clean Ext Alu, Painted Ext Alu, Cast Alu,
    CU-1BR, CU-2
    #1 Insulated Wire, #2 Insulated Wire
    Steel iron loose, HMS - Steel


    The ones I need help on are:

    CU-IT: I believe was un-stripped CAT5 but if I’m wrong let me know.
    CUIN-18: NO Idea
    AL-MLC: NO Idea
    BRY-B: I’m pretty sure this was some brass fittings for air hoses.

    Thanks

    AL-MLC is aluminum mixed low copper
    BRY-B is probably their name for yellow brass
    did you sell any insulated copper wire, because CUIN-18 could be insulated copper wire (either 18 guage or 18% copper by mass) like communications wire or something

    Ok I think the MLC was some sheathing from BX Cable. Does that seem right?

    My guess would be "category 3". Misc copper scrap and copper sheet.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
