Cupping Test
This Erichsen Lacquer and Paint Testing Machine, Model 200, is used for the ERICHSEN CUPPING TEST.
The Model 200 test the elasticity and adhesive quality of lacquers and other protective coatings on metallic supports by means of the Erichsen Cupping Test according to DIN EN ISO 1520, ISO 1520, BS 3900 : Part E4, SIS 18 41 77 and NF T 30-019, on coated sheet metal, with a tensile strenght of 400 N/mm2, up to 1,25 mm thick and from 70-90 mm wide.
Control of the depth by a counter with 0.1 mm accuracy.
The testing machine including one test tool according to BS 3900 : Part E4, DIN EN IS0 1520, ISO 1520, DIN 53 156, SIS 18 41 77 and NF T 30-019 is precision made.

Bead Test Instrument Model 227 measures the residual deformation capacity of coatings by drawing a wall bead into standard 33 mm dia. cups and measuring the bead depth to an accuracy of 0.02 mm.
This enables the quantitative assessment of the technological properties of stamping paints and plastic coatings. The instrument was designed to produce stresses comparable to those which occur in practice and is particularly suited for use in the development of high quality stamping paints.
The bead is formed to a depth where the deformation limit of the stamping paint is reached. During the test a conducting fluid moistens the coated surface of the cup and penetrates even the finest cracks in the coating. Once the conducting fluid meets the metal surface of the cup an appropriate reading indicates the degree of cracking. The method is reliable and reproducible and therefore a convenient means for manufacturers and users to communicate the quality of a stamping paint in numerical terms.
Furthermore the Bead Test Instrument, Model 227, can be used to form a bead into the cylindrical wall of a standard cup until a mechanic destruction of the coating is achieved. This is another possibility to intensify the test.
