CUPEL Meaning and Definition

  1. A cupel is a shallow, porous dish or vessel, typically made of bone ash or magnesia, used in the process of assaying or refining metals such as gold or silver. It is an essential tool in the field of metallurgy, specifically in the process of determining the purity of precious metals.

    The cupel is designed to withstand high temperatures without melting or reacting with the metals being tested. It is typically heated in a furnace along with the metal sample, with the purpose of removing impurities or undesirable elements. As the metal sample is heated, the impurities oxidize and are absorbed by the porous cupel material, while the pure metal remains behind.

    The term cupel can also refer to the process itself, which involves heating the cupel in the furnace and analyzing the resulting material. This method allows for accurate determination of the content and quality of metals, which is crucial in industries such as jewelry and bullion production.

    The use of cupels dates back to ancient times, and the design and materials have evolved over the years. Modern cupels are often made of synthetic materials that provide a consistent and reliable performance. The process of cupellation plays a fundamental role in ensuring the quality and purity of precious metals.
