What objects do we accept for assay with ultrasonic measuring?
The list of things that can be subjected to a purity test with a modern ultrasonic measuring tool is huge: pieces of jewellery, bars and metallic objects are the main categories. Even if your object is coated with another material, for example a silver bracelet plated with gold, it does not affect the accuracy of the results of this tool.
What makes this specific method of metal assay stand out compared to the rest of our services is the fact that all kinds of metals can be assessed accurately. To be more exact, an expensive item may not have been made of precious metals (gold, silver, palladium, platinum) exclusively. Ultrasonic measuring allows experts to “see”, to penetrate the specific object and understand if other materials like aluminium or zinc are part of its make-up. People who possess precious metal alloys should assay their purity by testing their complex structure.
How do we assay materials using the ultrasonic measuring device?
As the name of the instrument suggests, the science of ultrasound is utilised so that an expert can “see” inside any kind of object and understand if it has been contaminated with other metals. To be more specific, the sound wave that pierces through the object does the job. This wave measures the thickness of the object. If the digits that are shown on the device are unexpected, then an odd material exists inside this object and distorts the results.
Why should you test metal purity with an ultrasonic measuring tool
- In order to be sure about the quality of your personal belongings.
- So that you can offer them the level of care that they truly need.
- To obtain a certificate of authenticity.
- Not to devalue them by accepting an offer that does not correspond to their actual value.
- To set a fair and profitable selling price.
