- "Guys on the nose" New Year ", it's time to hand over non-ferrous metal from the common fund to the banquet table."- I told my comrades from the plumbing brigade.
- "It's time so it's time, we'll sort it out in the evening" - they answered.
For the last three months we have been collecting non-ferrous metal. Most of our catch was old mixers, taps, meters. Most of them contained a brass alloy.
I suddenly wondered how much water meter contains brass. If you take it to the metal reception. Not to the store. I wrote earlier about how I rent water meters directly to the store. The link will be at the end of the article.
We disassemble and weigh
But first you need to find out how much non-ferrous metal costs. For this I went to the metal reception. These prices are not relevant to me. The receiver is familiar. He said boldly add 20 rubles to any position.
We disassemble the Betar counter, SGV-15. 2013. Every year the weight of these counters becomes less and less. And the quality is getting worse. On the face of optimization. If she is not okay.
In order to find out the value of the metering device, it must be disassembled. Separate brass from iron and plastic. Disassembly photo in the gallery. Feel free to leaf through.
Having separated the plastic and the iron retaining ring, we first weigh the cover of the water meter body. Its weight is 54.2 grams.
The most important part of a flowmeter is the body. We install it on the scales. Thus, we learned the weight - 251.3 grams.
And the total weight of the brass case with the lid is 305.5 grams.
We count
He's still an accountant of me. But still).
Durability kg. brass let it cost -170 rubles. (17000 kopecks.) One gram of this alloy is estimated at 17 kopecks. 305 gr. multiply by 17 kopecks. As a result, we get 5185 kopecks. which corresponds to 51 rubles and 85 kopecks.
A used water meter on average, when converted to non-ferrous metal, costs 50 rubles. We do not take into account the cost of an iron stopper and plastic, they are not worth it.
What do you think? Did the author deserve a like?
