The assessments reflect metallurgical coke with a 65%/63% CSR (65% CSR guaranteed, 63% CSR rejection) and 62%/60% CSR content, 12.5% ash, 0.65% sulfur, 82% minimum Micum 40, 8% maximum Micum 10, 30-80 mm size, 25%-26% CRI, 5% TM. All origins of metallurgical coke will be taken into consideration, and will be normalized back to Platts base standards.
