- 91.2%
- Free iron %
- 1.1%
- Non-metallics %
- 1.4%
- Moisture %
- 0.6%

Packing & supply
- Baled and strapped
- Loose in tippers
- Shredded in jumbo bags or containers
Storage & handling
- Screen every intake for closed containers and hazardous residues.
- Keep grades segregated — mixing destroys the price premium.
- Store under cover to keep moisture out of melt feed.
