per net ton question on steel

usually Heavy iron is bought at 2240 GT
Light iron and cars bought at 2000 NT

Hundredweight, net ton, long ton, short ton, jewish ton, gross ton. I only know one tonnage weight and that's 2240 is a ton. 20 tons to me is 44800 lbs. Its all I know and its the only way I will request a price when I have scrap to sell. Just make sure you know what you are getting as far as what price you are getting and what kinda ton they are buying it. Its pretty cut and dry. Always request a written or emailed price quote so you know exactly what you are getting so there can't be any discrepancy when you get the check. Know one wants to lose 20 bucks or more because they surprise you with the old well we only buy scrap by the gross ton and you think you are getting the short ton price. Every yard is different and they all do things there way.
