Description
Cupel 1 – Precision Cupel for Small Sample Assay
The Cupel 1 is Mechelec’s compact solution for high-precision fire assay processes in laboratories and hallmarking units. Designed for the controlled separation of precious metals, this small yet effective cupel is ideal for working with limited sample sizes in educational labs, refining offices, and gold testing facilities.
It is manufactured using high-purity magnesia and bone ash materials, ensuring optimal porosity and thermal resistance. The result is excellent absorption of lead oxide during the cupellation process, allowing accurate retention of gold and silver. Its miniature size makes it perfect for batch testing and small-scale analytical work, especially where equipment size or furnace capacity is limited.
Lab technicians and cupellers appreciate the ease of handling and quick heat response of this Cupel. Its stable performance at temperatures up to 1200°C ensures minimal distortion and consistent assay results. The cupel’s structure prevents metal loss during melting and guarantees clean residue collection after lead absorption.
Whether you’re processing low-volume bullion or training students in metallurgical techniques, Cupel 1 delivers reliability and efficiency. Every unit is tested to meet stringent quality benchmarks, giving you peace of mind in terms of accuracy and durability.
At Mechelec, we support modern assaying practices with products tailored to real-world lab needs. Cupel 1 is an ideal choice when you require precision in a compact format, with minimal waste and superior performance.
