Frequently Asked Questions

What is Less-Than-Prime© (LTP) steel or pipe?

LTP is what we call surplus or excess steel or pipe that was purchased by a fabricator, manufacture, or distributor for a specific project, and for one reason or another went unused. LTP can be in pristine condition or have minor aesthetic imperfections such as varying degrees of rust, pitting, or damage, with or without MTR’s. At Texas Iron & Metal, a good portion of our LTP inventory does have MTR’s.

How much should I expect to save by purchasing LTP© steel or pipe?

Our customers typically save 20-40% purchasing LTP, depending on the type of material purchased.
