Scrap
Metal content % is the exposure. Hedge what's actually inside.
Scrap grades are defined by their metal content. Zorba at ~40-45% Al, Tense at ~90% Al, Berry at ~99% Cu. The Product Catalog stores ISRI-aligned metal-content defaults so hedge desks never over- or under-hedge mixed metal loads.
2 hedge methods apply to this family
Products in this family use different methods depending on how they're invoiced. By weight, by count, or by length.
Metal content %
Gross × MC%Hedgeable MT = Qty × UOM factor × Metal content %
A known fraction of the gross weight is base metal. Hedge the physical exposure only.
Typical use: Scrap (zorba, twitch, tense, dross) and alloy VAP with specified metal content.
Metal per unit
Qty × MT/unitHedgeable MT = Qty × Metal per unit
Sold by non-weight unit. Each unit carries a fixed metal load from the technical data sheet.
Typical use: Cable (MT/KM), conductor (MT/m), coils by count, scrap bundles by piece.
