SILVER INQUARTS & COPPER INQUARTS & GOLD WIRE
We can supply fire assay pure silver inquarts with a 99.99%, lead – silver inquarts, copper inquarts and gold wire 99.99% for cupellation.
SILVER INQUARTS
Our inquarts have a purity of 99.99% and we have two ranges available:
- 200mg and 500mg inquarts for ISO11426. According to ISO11426, it is necessary to inquart the sample to analyse it. The silver is equivalent to 2.3 to 3 times the mass of fine gold present.
- Smaller inquarts ranging from 1mg up to 50mg are mainly employed to directly inquart in the fire assay crucibles according to ISO10378.

Lead silver inquarts consist of precut lead wire with a very definite amount of silver. Furthermore these inquarts are gold free. These lead silver inquarts are equivalent to Herman Inquarts and can replace them.
The main advantages of using Herman Inquarts are:
– HIgh precision as each inquart contains an exact amount of silver
– Very fast addition of the silver in the crucible as it is not necessary to weight (time saving)

COPPER INQUARTS
The copper inquarts are used to analyse white gold alloys containing palladium.
In this case, traces of palladium may remain in the cornet after a single cupellation and parting. With these alloys, the cornets from the sample and the proof assays should be recupelled with 4 g of lead, silver equal to 2,5 times the mass of gold and with about 50 mg of copper inquart.
Our copper inquarts are in the form of granules allowing an easy weighing.
