Ferrailleur, que du bonheur !

Comment ça se présente ton "kit" ? On peut pas t'aider si on ne sait même pas de quoi il s'agit... C'est des produits chimiques ? un ohmmètre ?

ok jai trouver finalement merci quand meme
TESTING FOR GOLD

Scratch the piece to be tested over the surface of the black stone provided, press well so as to leave a visible deposit, preferably a line of one to one-half inches long. For the most accurate testing it is recommended that the user becomes familiar with comparative testing using standard gold testing needles. For highest sensitivity place a scratch line with a gold test needle next to the scratch line of the metal you are testing. Compare the speed at which the scratches dissolve. If the test scratch dissolves more quickly than the needle scratch, it is a lower karat than the needle.

Transfer a drop of the 10K solution to the scratch made. If the solution dissolves the scratch on the stone. it means the object is less than 10K gold or not gold at all. If the, solution leaves the scratch intact, it means the object being tested is 10K or greater than 10K.

The scratching and testing is repeated with the 14K solution. If the Solution dissolves the scratch on the stone, it means the object is less than 14K gold (if the scratch dissolves slowly and leaves rusty color particles, it is probably 12k gold). If the solution leaves the scratch intact, it means the object being tested is 14K or greater than 14K. (CAUTION: Many objects are marked 14K, but were fabricated prior to 1982 when it was legal to mark items 14K, but in reality the gold was 13.5K. When testing 13.5K gold, the 14K solution will not dissolve the scratch, but it will make it lose its brightness and it will turn it into a yellow-rusty color).

The scratching and testing is repeated with the 18K solution and the 22K solution (if available) until the karat of the object is determined. Remember that when the solution being used dissolves the scratch slowly and leaves rusty color particles it is probably two karats lower than the solution being used.

On items of heavy weight and volume such as chains, coins, etc, where plating could hide the true metal, it is recommended that a deep notch in the test piece be made and the testing be made with the metal inside the piece

TESTING FOR SILVER

Scratch the piece to be tested over the surface of the black stone provided, press well so as to leave a LARGE AND THICK visible deposit, preferably a line of one to one-half inches long.

Transfer a drop of the silver solution to the scratch made, The color reaction of the solution with the metal scratch will be as follows: (Take into consideration that the background of the test stone is black).

90%-100%= dark red

77%-90% = light red

65%-75% = Light Green color

NOTE: With the silver solution, it is possible to test directly on the piece being tested, however, the solution will dull the polishing of the piece, and leave a mark where the acid was placed.
