We offer acid testing as a quick and practical method to assess gold purity. By applying specialized testing acids to a sample, we are able to identify the approximate karat level and detect the presence of non-gold metals.
This method involves carefully applying specific acid solutions to the surface of the gold sample and observing the reaction. Different reactions indicate varying purity levels, allowing for a fast and effective assessment without the need for complex equipment.
Acid testing is widely used as an initial verification tool, especially in trade and field environments where quick decisions are required. While it provides an approximate indication of purity, it is highly effective in identifying gold authenticity and screening for potential impurities or alloy mixtures.
At Southern African Gold Refinery Company Limited, our acid testing is conducted by trained professionals to ensure accuracy, safety, and consistency in every evaluation, making it a reliable first step in the gold testing and verification process.
