The Manual Cupping Tester is a professional quality control testing instrument compliant with ISO 1520 and DIN EN 13523-6 standards, used to determine the resistance of paint, varnish, and coating systems against deformation. It evaluates the coating’s behavior—such as cracking, stretching, and detachment—when subjected to a controlled indentation formed on a metal surface, providing an objective assessment of product performance.
Operating on a manual principle, the device allows an operator-controlled testing process by creating a constant and controlled deformation on the test panel. This enables precise determination of the coating’s maximum resistance point. Its accurate mechanical structure ensures repeatable test results and reliable data for laboratory quality control applications.
Widely used in the paint, coating, automotive, and metal surface treatment industries, the manual cupping test device is commonly preferred in R&D and production quality control laboratories to evaluate product durability and optimize formulation development processes.
The Cupping / Indentation Test is a mandatory procedure for laboratories accredited by Qualicoat, QIB, and GSB.
