muestra de control / muestra de referencia
Explanation:
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


Explanation:

¿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.

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".
