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

"MLC shall consist of clean, uncoated and unpainted low copper aluminum scrap of two or more alloys and to be free of 2000, 4000 and 7000 series, road or highway signs, license plates, radiators, finstock, foil, hair wire, screen wire, dirt, plastic and other foreign substances. Also free from punchings, turnings, shavings, scalper and fines."

and cu-it is probably Copper-Insulate, Telecommunication

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

Last one I swear. CU-3. I've never heard of #3 copper.

My guess would be "category 3". Misc copper scrap and copper sheet.

D ayum this site is good :)
