Scrap Value Evaluation

In order for customers to have a clear understanding of their scrap's value. TMC is able to provide a scrap value evaluation by using various scientifically proven analysis methods to obtain optimum homogenization sample.

Sampling

To eliminate human errors, samples are extracted using scientifically proven procedures and time tested mechanical sampling systems.  The representative samples are either, melted and drilled, in the case of metals, or reduced in size to a laboratory aliquot.  Both types of samples are submitted to our assay laboratory for analysis.

Laboratory Analysis​

To define the composition and precious metal content of our customer's materials, TMC's laboratory performs intricate processes that include at least 20 steps based on a variety of variables, utilizing up to date metallurgic assay practices as well as precision instruments.
