Application Notes
Non-Destructive Gold Assay Karat ID
Get fast, accurate, analysis results with Handheld XRF. Within seconds, DELTA handheld XRF provides alloy chemistry and karat classification with one non-destructive and non-intrusive test.
With the current high value of gold, quantifying its fineness and purity is more critical than ever. Whether importing precious metals, selling or producing jewelry, fabricating metal, or recycling scrap metal, you need a fast, highly accurate way to determine karatage (gold content) for quality control, pricing, and usage purposes.
The DELTA Classic handheld XRF analyzer not only provides these qualities, but is a non-destructive, cost-effective method to check for gold content and verify alloy chemistry.
XRF is a widely-used, proven and accepted method to generate a complete analysis of gold samples, including purity and fineness. On-the-spot analysis of your gold products and materials is an easy way to boost customer confidence and ensure dealer reliability.

Repeat Analyses of Gold Alloys
DELTA Classic, 30 sec analysis time
In Focus and On Target for Every Shot
The DELTA Classic is available with optional integrated camera and smalll spot collimation. A CMOS camera records sample images to memory with analysis results for report generation. X-ray beam collimation is utilized for measurement of small components and samples. A simple press of a button activates 3mm diameter collimation; an on-screen indicator shows the operator exactly where the analysis spot is focused. Collimation can be easily reverted to 10mm spot diameter for standard, bulk analyses.
