Electroplating Thickness Measurement

Using our X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, it is possible to measure the thickness of gold, silver, and rhodium electroplating coatings and analyze the elemental composition of a sample, ensuring clients are aware of the product they receive. These measurements are highly accurate, providing certainty and repeatability of results. Possible measurements include:

  • Measuring the thickness of gold plating on any metal (covering 24 elements).
  • Measuring the thickness of rhodium plating on silver alloys.
  • Measuring the thickness of silver plating on a metal alloy (covering 12 elements).
  • Analyzing the alloy composition of gold jewelry.
  • Analyzing the alloy composition of silver jewelry.
  • Analyzing the alloy composition of titanium jewelry.
  • Analyzing the alloy composition of platinum jewelry.

Our equipment also allows testing the gold and silver purity, determining the percentage composition of 24 elements in an alloy. This capability extends beyond jewelry testing.

Non-Destructive Testing

Testing is non-destructive to the sample. However, if a client wants to test samples with unknown composition and layer structure, the best option is often to drill the sample (the surface may differ from the base material), which may incur additional service charges
