Know which market you are seeing
A futures quotation describes a contract, while a physical offer specifies a product, quantity and delivery arrangement. The existing provider exposes HG without a contract month or explicit unit field. Our conversion uses the standard HG dollar-per-pound convention and discloses that assumption; it is not a confirmed executable exchange offer.
Do not apply a benchmark to any scrap weight
Scrap offers depend on the buyer's specification, recoverable metal, contamination and processing arrangements. Insulated cable, mixed scrap and a specified refined product are not interchangeable. Ask for the assessed payable weight and grade before comparing offers.
Convert units without changing the offer
Using 0.45359237 kilograms per pound converts a per-pound reference into a per-kilogram reference. It does not add transport, processing, taxes or local premiums. The copper calculator uses a manual INR/kg quotation plus explicit charges. No fabricated city scrap rates are supplied.
