Scrap rates in Pakistan are quoted in different units, which makes them hard to compare. Before you compare two prices, convert them to rupees per kilogram.
The common units
| Unit | Kilograms | Where you see it |
|---|---|---|
| Kilogram (kg) | 1 | Most rate lists, and Scrap Exchange |
| Maund (mann), modern | 40 | Many markets and dealers |
| Mann, traditional | about 37.3 | Some broker rates in old markets |
| Ton (metric tonne) | 1,000 | Mills, wholesale and import prices |
How to convert
- Per maund (40 kg) to per kg: divide by 40. Rs 4,000 per maund is Rs 100 per kg.
- Per ton to per kg: divide by 1,000. Rs 150,000 per ton is Rs 150 per kg.
- If a broker's mann is 37.3 kg, divide by 37.3 instead.
