Our Professional Gold Testing Equipment: XRF, Scale & Money Counter
When you sell gold or pawn tickets, trust is everything. You need confidence that the valuation is fair, accurate, and transparent. At Surat Pajak, we use three professional pieces of equipment to ensure every transaction meets the highest standards — an XRF machine, a digital gold scale, and a money counter.
In this article, we explain each piece of equipment, how it works, and why it matters to you as a gold seller or pawn ticket holder.
1. XRF Machine: Non-Destructive Gold Purity Testing
What Is an XRF Machine?
XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) is advanced technology that detects gold purity without damaging your items. It uses X-rays to analyze metal composition in just seconds.
Why Is XRF Important?
| Aspect | Importance |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | Detects purity down to 0.1% — highest level |
| Non-Destructive | Your gold isn’t scratched, cut, or melted |
| Fast | Results in just 30-60 seconds |
| Reliable | Technology used in laboratories and financial institutions |
How It Works
- Place Gold: The item is placed on the machine’s platform
- X-Ray Active: X-rays penetrate the gold surface
- Spectrum Analysis: The machine reads the reflected radiation
- Results Displayed: The screen shows purity percentage (916, 750, 585, 999)
XRF Results Example
| Gold Type | XRF Result | Selling Value (estimated) |
|---|---|---|
| 916 (22K) | 91.6% pure | RM538-542/g |
| 750 (18K) | 75.0% pure | RM428-432/g |
| 585 (14K) | 58.5% pure | RM329-333/g |
| 999 (24K) | 99.9% pure | RM584-588/g |
Result: You know exactly what your gold is worth before agreeing to sell.
2. Digital Gold Scale: Precise to Every 0.01 Gram
Why a Professional Scale Matters
Gold weight determines price. Every 0.01 gram carries value, so scale accuracy is critical.
Features of Our Scale
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 0.01g Precision | No rough estimates — every milligram counts |
| Monthly Calibration | Calibrated every month for consistent accuracy |
| Digital Display | You see the same weight we do |
| Up to 500g Capacity | Suitable for large and small items |
The Weighing Process in Front of You
- Place Gold: Item placed on a clean tray
- Tare (Zero): Tray weighed first and subtracted
- Accurate Reading: Scale shows net gold weight
- Record: Weight recorded for price calculation
- Verification: You see it yourself — no secrets
Price Calculation Examples Based on Weight
| Weight | Purity | Price/g | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15.23g | 916 | RM540 | RM8,224.20 |
| 8.67g | 750 | RM430 | RM3,728.10 |
| 22.00g | 999 | RM586 | RM12,892.00 |
| 5.45g | 585 | RM331 | RM1,803.95 |
Note: Every 0.01 gram counts — no rounding up or down.
3. Money Counter: Transparent Transactions
Why a Money Counter?
When we’re talking about thousands of ringgit, every banknote must be verified. Our money counter doesn’t just count — it also detects counterfeit notes.
Features of Our Money Counter
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Fast Counting | 1,000 notes per minute — saves time |
| Counterfeit Detection | UV, MG, IR — 99.9% detection rate |
| Multi-Currency | RM, USD, and other currencies |
| Digital Display | Total amount clearly displayed |
The Payment Process Before Your Eyes
- Gold Calculation: XRF and scale determine gold value
- Cash Amount: Machine counts the exact amount
- Verification: Every note checked for authenticity
- Handover: Cash given to you
- Receipt: Official receipt provided for records
All Three Combined: The Complete Process
Here’s how all three pieces of equipment work together in one transaction:
Step 1: XRF Test (1-2 Minutes)
- Gold tested for purity
- Results displayed on screen
- You see the purity percentage
Step 2: Weighing (1 Minute)
- Gold weighed on digital scale

Step 3: Price Calculation (Instant)
