The easy way is to take it to someone who knows what's what. However, a few tests may help if you want to figure it out yourself. Archimedian method: 1) Suspend the metal slab from a weighing scale. (A beam balance is easy to make). Write down the mass in grams in air (Wa).

2) While the scale is balanced with the suspended slab, put a container under the slab so that it can be suspended in room temperature water. This is the buoyant gram mass Wb). So Wa = the mass of the slab.

Wb = the mass of the slab minus the mass of displaced water in grams, *which is identical to the slab volume in ml (cc). (At this point Archimedes said "Eureka!") Or Wa-Wb=Volume of slab. So density= Wa/(Wa-Wb) Density of platinum is 21.37 (which is enormous). Good luck.

How can you tell if its scrap nickel or platinum?

Because Platinum is so unbelievably expensive that chances are, it's nickel. You probably mean Palladium, not Platinum. The only way to tell for sure is to do a scratch test at a jewelry store where they will scratch a microscopic bit off the metal off and react it with a chemical to test it.

How do you tell the difference between a silver ring and a platinum ring?

Silver is a white-grey colored metal. Platinum is a white metal. Silver is a softer metal. Platinum is a very dense and heavy metal. Silver is mainly used in jewelry (earrings, bracelets, necklaces, dress rings) and is not suitable for engagement rings. Platinum is mainly used for engagement or wedding rings. Platinum can also be used to make dress rings, though it is not commonly used to make earrings, pendants, bracelets or necklaces. Silver is also more prone to oxidation, sometimes causing the silver to turn black. Platinum is normally not used in the full range of jewelry products due to its higher price.


How can you tell if platinum is real?

Platinum is rarer, heavier, more durable and even more expensive than gold. It is also very dense, meaning that it is heavy. It does require less upkeep than other metals because it is naturally white. Unlike white gold, which needs to be replated with rhodium (a liquid metal that is part of the Platinum Group Metals), platinum stays white forever. The appeal of platinum is in its appearance. Its white luster is unique. It is about 60% as heavier than 14-karat gold. The metal appears silvery-white when pure, and firm. Contrary to popular misconceptions, platinum does scratch. It is actually "softer," if you would, than gold. However, when platinum scratches, it does not lose metal. The metal simply "moves over" and becomes displaced. With a little buffing, the metal will move right back into place and return back to its original brilliance. When gold scratches, you actually lose metal. If you suspect a fake, bounce the jewelry in your hand and judge how heavy it feels in comparison to a gold jewelry. If it feels a lot heavier, it probably is platinum.
