Brass Scrap Trading and Indenting
Honey brass, brass turnings, radiators, taps and mixed yellow brass assessed on alloy consistency, attachments and contamination.
About brass scrap
Brass arrives in a wide variety of forms, from clean machining turnings to mixed plumbing fittings with chrome plating and steel inserts. Its value rests on copper content and alloy consistency, both of which are easily diluted by attachments.
AceComex reviews brass offers on the basis of alloy type, attachment content and how consistently the material has been sorted, and encourages photographs that show typical pieces rather than only the best examples.
Common material categories
- Honey brass and clean yellow brass solids
- Brass turnings, drained and free of excessive oil
- Brass radiators and brass-copper radiators
- Brass taps, valves and plumbing fittings
- Brass sheet, rod and extrusion offcuts
- Mixed yellow brass within a stated tolerance

Transaction models
Premium indenting
Structured presentation between a supplier and a consuming buyer, with AceComex coordinating specification and follow-through.
Direct international trading
A firm commercial structure where terms, inspection and payment are agreed in writing before shipment.
Yard-to-yard supply
Regular, predictable despatches between a processing yard and a consuming facility.
Quality considerations
Plating
Chrome-plated fittings behave differently in the melt and should be declared.
Steel inserts
Valves and taps frequently contain steel components that reduce recoverable brass.
Turnings condition
Oil and coolant retention reduces yield and increases apparent weight.
Alloy mixing
Blending red and yellow brass without disclosure changes the value basis.
Sorting variability
Mixed plumbing brass varies widely; representative photographs are essential.
Packing
Drums and bags should be uniform to allow accurate weight and payload planning.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
- Are plumbing fittings acceptable?
- Frequently yes, but they should be offered as a distinct category rather than blended into clean yellow brass, because of plating and steel inserts.
- How are brass turnings assessed?
- On alloy type, oil and moisture content and the presence of steel or other metal fines. Draining before packing improves the result.
- Is analysis needed for brass?
- It is not always required, but for larger or mixed parcels an analysis materially improves how the offer can be presented.
