Gold cupellation
Aparece en la descripción de un método para determinar el contenido de oro en lingotes.
Contexto:
"Possible systematic errors in the procedure are largely eliminated by assaying synthetic ***proof*** samples in parallel but
in industrial environment, assays cannot be corrected by a large number of ***proof*** samples".
.
.
"First experiment plan to evaluate the sensitivity of gold content to various parameters, 400 assays performed with only ***proof*** samples (series of 9 to 15 assays)"
Muchas gracias de antemano,

muestra de control / muestra de referencia
I'm not sure about this, but from the looks of things it refers to a benchmark or a control:
Precision weighing of metal content of samples and process controls (proofs) at each process stage is the basis of the extreme method precision.

prueba (de la muestra) / ley / proporción de la muestra
¿Tal vez la "ley" o la cantidad de quilates?
8. f. Cantidad de oro o plata finos en las ligas de barras, alhajas o monedas de oro o plata, que fijan las leyes para estas últimas.
9. f. Cantidad de metal contenida en una mena.

(Había incluido una respuesta algo más trabajada, pero le di al botón equivocado y se me borró...)
Tengo que salir "pitando", pero espero que lo que aporto sea de alguna ayuda.
Saludos cordiales, Jorge.

Muestras de prueba.
Muestras para verificar la ley del oro.

De nada, Jorge, un placer.
Si te fijas, son formas distintas de venir a decir lo mismo. La "muestra de control" sería la "ley" o "la muestra de la ley".
