Gold Silver Acid Testing Instructions
METAL TESTING
A popular method of relative accuracy for testing gold requires a set of testing needles with different tips of exact karat, a test stone and acids prepared for testing various karats.
For silver and base metals, use silver testing solutions.
The KASSOY GT301P Gold Test Kit contains the following:
- 3 plastic squeeze bottles containing test acids (1 each for 10kt, 14 kt, and 18kt)
- 1 set of test needles (10kt, 14 kt, 18 kt, and 22 kt)
- 1 test stone
- 1 storage box with dividers
- Instructions
Squeeze bottles of acid for testing silver and both 22 kt gold and platinum are also available.
TO FIND THE KARAT
Rub a piece of the item to be tested on the stone and leave a visible deposit. Choose the needle nearest to the karat value you asssume the gold to be and rub it on the test stone, leaving a visible doeposit next to the first one. Apply a drop of the acid approximating the karatage to each mark at the same time.
- If the two marks react to the acid at the same time, then the test sample is of similar karatage to the needle.
- If the test sample mark reacts sooner than the needle mark, then the test sample is of lower karatage.
- If the needle mark reacts sonner than the test sample mark, then the test sample is of higher karatage.
You should use a higher karat acid if there is little or no reaction to the acid. By repeated trials, the karat of the gold piece can be determined to a close approximation.
TESTING SILVER and OTHER METALS
File a deep notch in the time to be tested and aply a drop of silver testing solution in the notch. Different metal reac with the colors listed:
- Brass - Dark Brown
- Fine Silver - Bright Red
- Copper - Brown
- Silver 925 - Dark Red
- Nickel - Blue
- Silver 800 - Brown
- Paladium - None
- Silver 500 - Green
- Gold - None
- Lead - Yellow
- Tin - Yellow
TESTING ACIDS ARE DANGEROUS
AVOID BREATHING THE FUMES OR MAKING SKIN CONTACT

Tri Electronics Pocket-Size Electronic Gold Testers
Using an ecologically safe liquid, Tri Electronics two new gold testers accurately test both yellow and white gold and give their results on an easy to read digital display. The GTP18 tests both yellow and white gold from 6 to 18 karats; the GTP24 tests yellow gold from 6 karat up to 24 karat and white gold from 6 karat to 18 karats. Both read "Not Gold" for anything below 6 karats. Both testers use the GTP-TL testing liquid; one bottle gives about 400 tests.
Both operate on 3 supplied AAA batteries or with an optional AC/DC adapter. The GTP24 is covered by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty; the GTP18 by a one-year warranty.
Model GTP24 is shown at left - the GTP18 is similar.
