Testing metal using density?
Ok, lets say i want to test an 100 ozt ingot of silver to see if it is really silver. Is it possible to do this using the density check method? Pure silver density is 10.5 cm3, so if i weigh it, then get volume in a graduated cylinder and divide mass by volume the result would be 10.5 if it is real silver. BUT: what if somebody took the bar of silver, hollowed it out and poured in enough lead to make it the same weight as before, then sealed up the hole with pure silver. The result would be a 100 ozt ingot, filled with lead and some airspace. Would the density check determine the scam? the weight is the same and it occupies the same space as before…?
No, a density test would not determine the scam you’ve explained. Stick to tensile testing. Inexpensive and effective.
