Product Description
12 Hole Magnesia Cupel Brick for Batch Fire Assay Gold and Silver Testing
The Y&X cupel brick is the multi-cavity upgrade of the classic single cupel. Built as a refractory brick with independently machined round cup holes, each hole works exactly like one single cupel, so a laboratory can run a whole batch of samples in one cupellation cycle. This 12 hole model processes up to 12 samples per run.
12 Hole Magnesia Cupel Brick for fire assay testing
Product Highlights
  • 96% high purity MgO formula with a special fluxing agent for superior absorption
  • Absorbs more than 70% of its own weight in lead oxide (PbO)
  • No cracking, pitting or lead spitting during cupellation
  • Each cavity performs identically to a single cupel, for batch consistency
  • One-piece brick body heats uniformly and reduces loading-position temperature deviation
  • Excellent thermal shock resistance, ready to use without pre-drying
  • Not affected by atmospheric humidity, no freezing tendency in any climate
  • Higher cupellation capacity per unit of furnace space
  • In-house laboratory quality testing with traceable batches
  • Custom cavity counts from 4 to 24 holes and custom packaging available
Cupel vs Cupel Brick Comparison
Magnesia Cupel: Single round cupel, 1 sample per run, flexible and economical for small sample volumes.

Cupel Brick: Multi-cavity rectangular brick, up to 24 samples per run, uniform heating, ideal for large sample volumes and standardized batch processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Cupel or cupel brick -- which should I choose?
A: A cupel is a single round dish for small or individual samples; a cupel brick is a multi-cavity block that cupels many samples per run. Both use the same 96% magnesia material and the same working principle. Under 20 samples per day, single cupels offer flexible pairing; for larger batches, a cupel brick is more efficient and provides a more uniform temperature field.
Q: Why choose a 12 hole cupel brick?
A: It processes up to 12 samples in one cupellation run, a practical step up from single cupels for medium volume laboratories. The one-piece brick heats uniformly and reduces temperature deviation between loading positions, improving consistency across a batch. Available in two layouts: 12HB (4 x 3 cavities, 80 x 60 x 20 mm) and 12HB(L) (6 x 2 cavities, 165 x 60 x 20 mm).
Q: Do cupel bricks need pre-drying before use?
A: No. Cupel bricks can be placed directly into the cupellation furnace without pre-drying. The high purity magnesia formula gives excellent thermal shock resistance, so a brick at room temperature can enter the approximately 900°C working environment without cracking, saving preheating time and energy. If stored in extremely humid conditions (relative humidity above 85%), drying at 105°C for 2 hours before use is recommended.
Q: How should cupel bricks be stored, and what is the shelf life?
A: They have low storage requirements; store them in a dry, ventilated place at room temperature. Unlike traditional bone-ash cupels, magnesia bricks are not affected by atmospheric humidity and will not freeze or degrade. Under proper storage they keep long term with unchanged performance, with a shelf life of more than 12 months under standard conditions.
