Survey purpose
The purpose of this survey is to obtain information on quantities of selected steel products that are produced and shipped by Canadian manufacturers of steel primary forms, steel castings and pig iron. Data collected by this survey provide an indicator of the economic condition of the producing industry and can serve as input to study market share and industry trends. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
Data-Sharing agreements - To reduce respondent burden, Statistics Canada has entered into data-sharing agreements with provincial and territorial statistical agencies and other government organizations which must keep the data confidential and use them only for statistical purposes. The details of these agreements as well as information on record linkages were provided to you in the form of a letter with the January mail out.

PRODUCTION
The total actual production of rough steel castings during the month reported, is to be shown in the space provided, in weight to the nearest metric tonne, omitting decimals and fractions.
SHIPMENTS
(a) Are to be shown in weights to the nearest metric tonne in the proper spaces provided on the form, according to the end-uses of the castings. Weights in the Rough Castings are required. Where a foundry rough-machines or finishes castings before shipment, the finished shipping weights will be accepted only when the Rough weights are not obtained in the ordinary course of business.
(b) In the case of “captive” operation, i.e. where a firm produces castings for own use, transfer of same should be treated as a shipment for statistical purposes and disposition should be recorded against applicable S.D.C. No. designated in section 5.

| * Steel is the first solid state after melting suitable for further processing or sale, including ingots, steel castings and continuous or pressure cast blooms, billets, slabs or other product forms. ** Scrap Classification The producers of ferrous scrap describe unprocessed scrap by its origin. Home (own generated) scrap is produced in the manufacture of steel mill products, whereas prompt industrial scrap is generated by the secondary manufacturing industry and obsolete scrap comes from discarded machinery, equipment and structures. Note: 1. Alloy steel includes only steel where the minimum of the range specified in any of the elements named exceeds the following percentages: Nickel, 0.40%; chromium, 0.43%; copper, 0.50%; manganese, 1.65%; silicon, 0.50%; molybdenum, 0.10%; vanadium, tungsten, cobalt, titanium and zirconium any percent. 2. High alloy castings include all castings with any alloy content of 8% and over. |
