We conduct reliable density testing to estimate gold purity by measuring the relationship between a sample’s weight and volume. This simple yet effective method provides a practical way to verify gold authenticity and detect the presence of impurities or alloyed metals.
The process involves precisely weighing the gold sample and calculating its volume, allowing us to determine its density. Since pure gold has a known density of approximately 19.32 g/cm³, any deviation can indicate the presence of other metals or contaminants.
Density testing is an essential tool for initial verification, quality control, and trade purposes. It offers a fast, non-destructive, and cost-effective method to assess gold before further processing or refinement.
At Southern African Gold Refinery Company Limited, our density testing is carried out by skilled professionals using precise equipment to ensure accurate and consistent results. This makes it a trusted method for both miners and traders seeking reliable preliminary purity assessment.
