Laiton Conditions d'achat
- Le laiton est un alliage principalement composé de cuivre et de zinc.
- Les articles tels que les robinets d’eau, les écrous, les ferrures d’autel bouddhique et les instruments en laiton entrent dans cette catégorie.
- Les articles contenant de la poussière ou des pièces attachées font l’objet d’une déduction.
- Les morceaux coupés de fil de laiton sont inclus dans cette catégorie; toutefois, les pièces coupées trop courtes sont dépréciées.
- Pour les articles provenant des environs des robinets d’eau, il faut faire attention à la contamination par l’acier inoxydable.
- Autour des valves ou des robinets de gaz et d’eau, on trouve souvent des matériaux à base de zinc plutôt que du laiton; certains articles en zinc ont une apparence jaunâtre, une vérification attentive est donc requise.
- Les articles plaqués autour des robinets d’eau peuvent contenir du laiton, du bronze (gunmetal) ou occasionnellement du cuivre, mais comme ils ne peuvent pas être séparés, ils sont traités comme du laiton.
- Les copeaux de laiton contiennent généralement des impuretés non en laiton ou de l’huile; ils sont donc fortement dépréciés (cela s’applique même si les impuretés ou l’huile ne sont pas visibles, puisqu’une inspection complète n’est pas possible).
- Les pièces de monnaie en laiton ont des prix unitaires différents et, si des impuretés sont présentes, elles peuvent ne pas être acceptées à l’achat.
FAQ
- 1. What is today’s price for Laiton?
- As of 2026-04-24 02:42, Ohata Shoji Canada Inc, (Delta, BC, Canada) is purchasing Laiton as scrap metal at 3.00 (CAD/lb). We provide competitive scrap metal prices in Delta, Surrey, Richmond, and across the Greater Vancouver area.
- 2. Q: What types of brass do you accept, and do they need to be pre-sorted?
- A: We accept a wide variety of brass scrap, including Yellow Brass, Red Brass, Semi-Red Brass, Brass Turnings, Brass Solids (like valves and fixtures), and even Brass Shell Casings. While we can handle mixed loads, separating your brass into different types beforehand will always result in the highest price per pound. If you bring in a mixed load, our trained staff will separate and grade the material on-site, and it will be priced accordingly. We recommend keeping high-value alloys like Red Brass (which has a higher copper content) separate from common Yellow Brass.
- 3. Q: How is the price for my brass scrap determined, and when will I be paid?
- A: The price we offer for your brass scrap is primarily determined by two factors: the current market price of copper and zinc (the main components of brass), and the specific alloy/grade of the brass you are selling (e.g., Red Brass is typically worth more than Yellow Brass). We use calibrated scales certified by the state to ensure accurate weight. Payment is typically issued immediately upon completion of grading and weighing. We offer several payment methods, including cash, company check, or electronic transfer (ACH), depending on the transaction size and your preference.
- 4. Q: Are there any specific materials or contaminants that will cause my brass scrap to be rejected or downgraded?
- A: Yes, contaminants must be minimized to ensure the best price. The most common downgrading contaminants include: Excessive Iron/Steel: Any ferrous metal attached (e.g., steel stems in brass valves, bolts). Non-Metallics: Rubber, plastic, wood, or heavy dirt/oil. Sealed Containers: Closed items like fire extinguishers or compressed gas cylinders must be cut open and emptied for safety. Aluminum Bronze: This alloy looks similar to yellow brass but is priced differently. We strongly advise sellers to remove non-brass attachments. Any significant contamination will be deducted from the total weight or may result in a lower "unclean" price per pound.
- 5. Q: I have a large industrial quantity of brass turnings. Do you offer pickup services or require specific preparation?
- A: For large industrial quantities, especially Brass Turnings (shavings/chips from machining), we are happy to discuss scheduled container drop-off and pickup services at your facility. This saves you transport time and labor. Regarding preparation, turnings should be as dry and free of cutting fluids/coolants as possible. Excessive oil or water will be considered a contaminant and reduce the net weight and price. If the turnings are extremely oily or "wet," they may be subject to a "sludge" deduction or a significantly lower price grade.
- 6. Q: Do I need any specific identification or documentation to sell scrap brass to your company?
- A: Yes, for compliance with state and local regulations regarding scrap metal transactions, all sellers must provide valid identification. You must present a current, government-issued photo ID (e.g., Driver's License or State ID). For certain high-value transactions or bulk commercial sales, we may require additional documentation, such as a Tax ID (EIN) for businesses or proof of ownership for large items like utility brass. We keep records of all transactions as mandated by law.
