Maximize your metal's formability with cupping strength testing

Gaurav Malhotra

Metals are often tested for cupping strength because it is a measure of their ability to withstand deformation when subjected to a tensile force. The cupping test is a common method used in the metal industry to assess the formability and ductility of metal sheets or plates. It is a simple and quick test that provides valuable information about the material's ability to deform without cracking or breaking under a tensile load. It is used to test the drawability of metal sheets. Thus, we at Presto Stantest Pvt. Ltd. have designed a high-quality lab testing instrument known as a cupping strength tester.

This cupping testing machine has been designed for accurate and reliable testing of the adhesion, hardness, and drawability of metal sheets. It has been made as per industry standards that include IS 10175 (Part I); 1993 & ISO 8490: 1986, and ISO 1520:2006. In this blog, we will discuss brief information about the cupping strength tests and how this useful testing instrument tests the drawability of metals accurately.

Cupping strength testing: the key to reliable, high-quality metal products

The cupping strength test is one of the high-quality lab tests performed on metals to test the drawability and formability of metal components. The cupping test is used to determine the quality of metal sheets or plates that are used in forming operations such as deep drawing, spinning, or bending. These operations involve stretching or compressing the metal sheet, and the cupping test can help to ensure that the material will not crack or tear during these processes.

The main purpose of cupping tests is to determine the ability of metal sheets and strips to get deformed with the spherical punch.

To test the cupping strength of metals, one can easily make use of an Erichsen cupping machine. Presto is a top cupping tester manufacturer and offers the best cupping test machine price to customers.

Now, let us discuss brief information about Presto cupping strength tester.

All about Presto cupping strength tester

The Presto Cupping Strength Tester is a testing machine that is used to determine the cupping value or cupping strength of metal sheets or plates. It is a widely used testing instrument in the metal industry to assess the formability and ductility of metals.

This lab testing instrument plays a significant role in the metal industry to test the drawability of metal sheets.

This quality testing equipment is designed with a rigid metallic base that is used to apply a load to the metal sample. The sample is clamped onto a die and a punch is forced onto the center of the sample, causing it to deform and stretch over the die.

The amount of deformation that the metal can withstand before cracking or tearing is measured by the machine and is used to calculate the cupping value.

The Presto Cupping Strength Tester has several features that make it a reliable and accurate testing instrument. Below we have listed the highly advanced features of this quality testing instrument.
