Semsons Tech Portable Gold Testing Machine

Place the piece, touch the metal, read the karat.

This is a portable electronic gold tester. It reads the karat of jewellery, coins and old gold without acid, without gel and without a scratch. The piece goes on the test pad, the pen probe touches the metal, and the karat shows on the tester's own screen. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so it works at the showroom counter, in the strongroom, at a gold loan branch or at a seller's place.

How It Works

The tester takes an electronic reading of the metal through the pen probe. The piece lies on the test pad, and the reading is taken where the probe tip touches it. The tester turns that reading into a karat and shows it on the screen. Nothing is put on the piece and nothing is taken from it. It uses no X-rays, no acid and no chemicals.

How to Use It

1. Place the piece on the test pad.
2. Touch the metal with the pen probe. Clean metal, not a stone or a solder joint.
3. Read the karat on the screen and hand the piece back.

What You Can Test

Rings, chains, bangles, necklaces and earrings, including pieces with stones: touch the metal and leave the stone alone. Old and scrap gold bought over the counter. Gold coins and small bars.

Common Questions

What is a portable gold testing machine?

A gold tester small enough to carry to the gold. This one is electronic: the piece goes on the test pad, the pen probe touches the metal, and the karat shows on its screen.

Is this an XRF machine?

No. It is an electronic tester: the pen probe takes an electronic reading of the metal. It uses no X-rays. For an XRF reading of the gold and the other metals in the alloy, see the Signet - PC.

Does it damage the jewellery?

No. There is no acid, no gel and no scratching. The probe only touches the metal, and the customer gets the piece back exactly as they handed it over.

How do I check 916 gold with it?

Place the piece on the test pad, touch a clean patch of metal with the probe and read the karat. 916 is 22K, so a genuine 916 piece reads 22K. The reading is for your own buying and lending decisions. It does not replace a hallmark, which comes from a recognised assaying and hallmarking centre.

Is it 100% accurate?

No gold test is right on every piece. The reading comes from the metal where the probe touches, so touch clean metal, away from stones and solder joints. For a borderline piece, fire assay at an assaying centre settles it.

Can it find plated or fake gold?

It reads the metal where the probe touches. If you suspect a piece is plated or has a different metal inside, check it a second way before you buy: an XRF machine such as the Signet - PC reads the alloy, and the Gold Coin Testing Machine checks coins and bars below the surface.

Can it test silver or platinum?

It is set up to show the karat of gold. If you mainly buy silver or platinum, speak to our sales team before you book.

Does it need a plug point or chemicals?

No. It runs on a rechargeable battery, and the charger comes with it. There is no acid, gel or liquid to buy, store or refill.
