PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and nondestructively measure the quality of even metal coins, of which the metallic composition is made of three or more types of known elements. SOLUTION: A sample is mounted to a sample holder 6 suspended from a balance 1. A heater 9 provided in a water tank 5 is controlled by a temperature control device 3 to control the water temperature in the water tank 5. Weight measurements are performed in the air and in the water at a plurality of set temperatures, by moving the water tank in vertical directions at each set temperature controlled by the temperature control device. The quality of the metal coins can be computed on the basis of the density of the sample acquired, as a result of this. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
