Best Applications
Gold and Jewelry Testing
Quickly test rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, chains, dental gold, and mixed jewelry. The X-MET8000 Smart can measure elemental composition and help verify common gold purities, including 10K, 14K, 18K, and 22K gold.
Pawn Shops and Gold Buyers
Evaluate precious-metal items before purchasing or accepting them as collateral. Digital XRF results offer a faster, cleaner, and more consistent alternative to traditional acid testing.
Silver Testing
Analyze sterling silver, fine silver, coins, flatware, jewelry, and silver-bearing scrap. The analyzer can also help distinguish solid silver alloys from many silver-plated base metals.
Coins and Bullion
Screen gold and silver coins, bars, and rounds without damaging them. XRF can identify elemental composition and detect many incorrect alloys or plated counterfeits.
Precious-Metal Recycling
Sort gold, silver, platinum, palladium, dental alloys, electronic contacts, jewelry scrap, and other precious-metal-bearing materials before refining or resale.

Important Testing Note
XRF primarily measures the surface and near-surface composition of an item. Thick plating can sometimes hide a different material underneath. For valuable or suspicious coins and bullion, XRF should be combined with weight, dimensions, density, conductivity, or ultrasound testing.
