Cupping Machine Lab Manual

This document provides instructions for operating a cupping machine to perform the Erichsen sheet metal test. The test determines the ductility and drawing properties of sheet metal by measuring the maximum depth or "cup" formed before fracture. The procedure involves placing a sheet metal test piece in the machine dies, penetrating it with a ball to form a cup, and stopping when a crack appears to measure the cupping number in millimeters. Observations note the acceptable thickness range for test pieces and parameters for rotation speed and ball diameter.

Operating Instructions for

Cupping Machine

AIM:

To study the Erichsen sheet metal testing machine &

perform the Erichsen sheet metal test.

Requirements:

Cupping test machine, test specimen,

Theory:

This is a mechanical test used to determine the ductility

and drawing properties of sheet metal. It consists in

measuring the maximum depth of bulge or cup which can

be formed before fracture.

2
Cupping number is the depth of impression at fracture, in

the cupping test, usually expressed in millimetres.

Procedure:

1. Measure the dimension of the test piece.

2. Place the test piece in the machine dies and touch the

penetrator.

3. Rotate the handle of the machine to penetrate the

penetrator in the test piece by pressing the retaining

ring.

4. As soon as crack appears in the test piece stop rotating

the handle.

5. Determine the depth of cup from med, which is the

cupping number.

3
OBSERVATION:

1. Thickness of test piece: 0.5 to 2 mm.

2. Rotation speed: 5 to 20 mm per minute.

3. Diameter of ball: 20 mm
