fire assay furnace

How about a Lab gold test Fire Assay Cupellation Furnace? It is a unique machine that plays a crucial role in testing metals such as gold, silver or platinum. Precious metals are metals which are valuable and in demand. We use a fire assay furnace to determine the content of these precious metals in various items. This piece of data is significant because the amount of these metals contribute to the worth of the object. An example of this would be a gold necklace that would be worth a lot of money because it contains a huge amount of gold. But if the necklace consists of only a small amount of gold, its worth will be much less. Determining how much precious metal is contained in an item enables individuals to determine its value.

The Science behind Fire Assay Furnaces and Its Uses

Question: So, how does a Fire Assay Cupellation Furnace work? It applies extremely high heat and certain chemicals to extract the precious metals from the other materials in a sample. The metal sample is placed in the furnace initially and heated to a temperature that is so high that the sample is literally a liquid. This is a critically important step! We add a chemical to the sample once it is melted. These chemicals allow the precious metals to bind together, and to separate from other materials that may have been ground up with them. And finally, after separating the precious metals, they are cooled and solidified. Once they cool, we can weigh them to determine precisely how much precious metal is in the sample. It is a process that helps us determine correct new information about the metals we are testing.
