Mechan­i­cal Cup­ping
Tester

The BYK-Gard­ner Mechan­i­cal Cup­ping Tester is designed to test the elon­ga­tion and deforma­bil­ity of lac­quers and pro­tec­tive coat­ings applied to metal sub­s­trates.  The punch is applied under pres­sure to the uncoated side of the test panel.  The panel is held in place by a clamp­ing ring.  Two test pro­ce­dures can be per­formed the "Pre­de­ter­mined depth" (go/no go) or "Min­i­mum depth required to cause fail­ure".

• New ergo­nomic design to save coun­ter space
• Two hand crank oper­a­tion for ease of oper­a­tion
• Pre­ci­sion gear­box to pro­vide repro­du­ci­ble results
• Chrome steel spher­i­cal punch
• Illu­mi­nated 2.5X mag­ni­fier on a piv­ot­ing arm
• Bat­tery pow­ered with auto-off fea­ture
• LCD dis­play­ing indent depth to 0.01 mm res­o­lu­tion

Test Pan­els

The rec­om­mended test panel size is a min­i­mum of 70 mm (2.75 in) square with a max­i­mum size of 100 mm (3.9 in) wide and 150 mm (6.0 in) high.  For bur­nished steel the min­i­mum thick­ness is 0.3 mm (0.01 in) to a max­i­mum of 1.25 mm (0.05 in).  The max­i­mum ten­sile strength of a 1.25 mm thick panel can not exceed 280 N/mm².  For alu­minum pan­els the max­i­mum thick­ness is 3 mm (0.12 in).
