Quantum the well-known organization consist group of professionals, each having several years of experience in the field of analytical, scientific, process, test & measuring instrumentation.
The company with its experience for more than 2 decades in X-ray technology introduces always innovation in precious measurements with latest hardware, intuitive software and simplicity in operation at affordable cost.
Karatmeter B-series is desktop fast, precise & non-destructive unit for accurate analysis of bulk material & layer thickness. The unit precisely & swiftly determines the percentage by weight (or Karat) in a solid piece of jewellery, precious coins or any other piece of noble metal making use of X-ray assay technique. It successfully determines the elemental composition of Gold alloys, Platinum group metals & Silver alloys. The analysis of bulk material & layer thickness is non-contact and non-destructive without any requirement for sample preparation. With additional calibration module, it can be even use for special coating thickness applications and plating chemical analysis.
