Identification of Scrap - Price and Quality

If its scrap, it will be melted down so quality does not matter. For the first picture, HMS, the length and weight is all you need to know. If the pieces are under 3' x 3' and at least 1/4" thick then it should be considered #1 HMS prepared. You have to call the scrap yard for their price per ton.

The reason why i ask is because the buyer in his tender specifically mentioned that he wants top notch quality, and will reject any quotations if the quality is not good.

This is why i was confused.
