[1] | In fiscal year 2016, as part of the Company’s ongoing review of its Milan production facilities, the Company determined that certain other facilities had excess capacity sufficient to absorb the manufacturing operations of one of its Milan plants. As a result, the Company committed to sell properties with a total estimated fair value, less costs to sell, of approximately $4.3 million at July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2017. Assets held for sale are included in prepaid expenses and other in current assets. The Company expects the sale of the properties to be completed during fiscal year 2017. The fair value measurements were based on recent valuation appraisals. |

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation The consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those requirements, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2016. These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using certain estimates by management and include the accounts of KMG Chemicals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017‑01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 affects all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company will apply the guidance to acquisitions occurring after the effective date to determine whether such acquisitions meet the definition of a business. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). To simply the subsequent measurement of goodwill, ASU 2017-04 eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity should adopt the amendments for its annual goodwill impairment tests or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The guidance could impact the Company if a goodwill impairment is identified after adoption. The Company plans to adopt the guidance effective August 1, 2017. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016‑18”). ASU 2016-18 is intended to address diversity in practice that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows The amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 is intended to address how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2016-15 at the beginning of fiscal year 2017, but there was no impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this ASU beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, and has applied the effects of the adoption from the beginning of the annual period of adoption. During the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2017, stock-based compensation excess tax benefits or deficiencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of income as a component of the provision for income taxes, whereas they previously were recognized in additional paid in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the consolidated statements of cash flows presents excess tax benefits as an operating activity for the six months ended January 31, 2017, while the historical periods have not been adjusted, which is consistent with the adoption of this portion of the standard on a prospective basis. Further, tax cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for shares withheld upon vesting or settlement are required to be presented as a financing activity, and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2017 has been revised to reflect these amounts as payments related to stock-based awards. Tax cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for shares withheld upon vesting or settlement for the six months ended January 31, 2016 were immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to its share-based payment awards at the date of adoption. Finally, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. Historically, estimated forfeitures were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. The amendments in the standard that required use of a modified retrospective transition method did not materially impact the Company. Therefore, the Company did not recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as of August 1, 2016. See note 12 for information regarding the additional impact on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which is intended to increase transparency and comparability of accounting for lease transactions. The ASU will require all leases with lease terms exceeding one year to be recognized on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities and will require both quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2019 with an option to early adopt. The Company is currently scoping its significant lease arrangements to assess the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the guidance effective October 31, 2019. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB voted to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Adoption can occur using one of two prescribed transition methods. In March, April and December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASC 2014-09. ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-20 must be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently scoping its revenue contracts to assess the potential impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt the revenue guidance effective October 31, 2018, although it has not yet selected a transition method. |

Acquisitions | 2. Acquisitions Subsequent to the date of the consolidated balance sheets, o n February 1, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Sealweld Corporation, a privately held corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, for CAD$22.6 million in cash (or approximately US$17.4 million, at an exchange rate of 0.77 CAD$ to US$).

However, the initial accounting for the acquisition is not complete as certain information and analysis that may impact the initial valuations are still being obtained or reviewed as a result of the short time period since the closing of the acquisition. A ccordingly, the Company cannot provide the required details of the significant assets and liabilities that were acquired in the acquisition as of the date of this report. The significant assets and liabilities acquired for which the initial accounting is incomplete include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill, working capital and deferred income taxes. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | 4. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares. There were approximately 412,000 and 321,000 dilutive shares related to stock-based awards for the three and six months ended January 31, 2017, respectively. There were approximately 198,000 and 183,000 dilutive shares related to stock-based awards for the three and six months ended January 31, 2016, respectively. Outstanding stock-based awards are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method if the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive. All outstanding stock awards were dilutive for the three months ended January 31, 2017. There were 97,000 performance-based shares that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the performance metrics have not been met as of January 31, 2017. There were 5,580 potentially dilutive securities that were not included for the six months ended January 31, 2017. There were 14,000 potentially dilutive securities that were not included for the three and six months ended January 31, 2016. |

Stock-Based Compensation | 7. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has stock-based incentive plans which are described in more detail in the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2016. The Company recognized stock-based compensation costs of approximately $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $3.1 million and $2.3 million for the six months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Stock‑based compensation costs are recorded under selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. As of January 31, 2017, the unrecognized compensation costs related to stock-based awards was approximately $9.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.08 years. Performance Shares There were 503,556 and 328,731 non-vested performance shares outstanding at January 31, 2017 and August 1, 2016, respectively, which reflected the number of shares under the awards expected to vest as of such dates.

The overall effective income tax rate for the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2017 was 24.4% and 29.4%, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2016, the overall effective income tax rate was 34.1% and 35.0%, respectively. Through the six month period ended January 31, 2017, stock-based compensation excess tax benefits of $685,000 were reflected in the consolidated statements of income as a component of the provision for income taxes as a result of the early adoption of ASU 2016‑09.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Litigation and Other Contingencies | 13. Litigation and Other Contingencies The Company is subject to contingencies, including litigation relating to environmental laws and regulations, commercial disputes and other matters. Certain of these contingencies are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these contingencies is subject to significant uncertainty, and should the Company fail to prevail in any of them or should several of them be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, these matters could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the consolidated financial statements. The ultimate outcome of these matters, however, cannot be determined at this time, nor can the amount of any potential loss or range of loss be reasonably estimated, and as a result except where indicated no amounts have been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. The EPA has listed the Star Lake Canal Superfund Site near Beaumont, Texas on the National Priorities List. The Company’s subsidiary, KMG-Bernuth, was notified in October 2014 that the EPA considered it to have potential liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, also known as “CERCLA,” in connection with this site by virtue of its relationship with certain alleged successor companies, including Idacon, Inc. (f/k/a Sonford Chemical Company). The EPA has estimated that the remediation will cost approximately $22.0 million. The Company and approximately seven other parties entered into an interim agreement with the EPA in September 2016 to complete a remedial design phase of the remediation of the site. No assurance can be given that the EPA will not designate the Company’s subsidiary as a potentially responsible party. The Company established a liability of $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 in connection with this matter. As of January 31, 2017, the liability remaining was $1.0 million. The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and potential liabilities relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety including, among other things, the cleanup of contaminated sites, the treatment, storage and disposal of wastes, the emission of substances into the air or waterways, and various health and safety matters. The Company expects to incur substantial costs for ongoing compliance with such laws and regulations. The Company may also face governmental or third-party claims, or otherwise incur costs, relating to cleanup of, or for injuries resulting from, contamination at sites associated with past and present operations. The Company accrues for environmental liabilities when a determination can be made that they are probable and reasonably estimable. |
