BEAMA Standard Formulae

    The equations below are the list of existing BEAMA Standard Formulae using the abbreviations in section A4 and notations in section A5.

    \(y\) is the proportion of the contract price at the date of tender wholly related to copper (i.e. the weight of copper multiplied by the cost per kilo of copper at tender date, expressed as proportion of the contract price at date of tender. This proportion should be scaled down by \(60\%\) to preserve the material proportion of the formula.
