Abstract
Abstract The present invention has an object of simply and accurately measuring a load applied to a mechanical press. A test billet obtained from material of which the mechanical strength is uniform and which is finished precisely is placed on the press and pressed between a slide and a bed of a press, whereby an upsetting amount and a pressure at that time of pressing the billet are measured by a load cell. As a result, a press load, which may be calculated by establishing as functions such elements as material, deformation amount, and working speed of a test billet, can be accurately obtained by a simple measurement of the test billet to which established properties have preliminarily been given.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A metallic test billet used for load testing a mechanical press producing an impact load, said metallic test billet being uniformly cylindrical and characterized in that the amount of plastic deformation of said metallic test billet in the form of a difference in length of said metallic test billet before and after loading, said length being measured in the direction of loading, is correlated to a specific load of the mechanical press.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
72 words
A metallic test billet used for load testing a mechanical press producing an impact load, said metallic test billet being uniformly cylindrical and characterized in that the amount of plastic deformation of said metallic test billet in the form of a difference in length of said metallic test billet before and after loading, said length being measured in the direction of loading, is correlated to a specific load of the mechanical press.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The metallic test billet as defined in claim 1, wherein said metallic test billet is steel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
The metallic test billet as defined in claim 1, wherein the metallic material is responsive to the following relationship: δ=αβ.sup.n γ.sup.m where: δ: is the deformation resistance of the metal α: is a coefficient value of the metal β: is the strain amount γ: is the rate of strain n: is the work hardening index m: is the dependency index of the rate of strain.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
128 words
A method of testing the load of a mechanical press producing an impact load using a metallic test billet, comprising the steps of: establishing a relationship between the plastic deformation of the metallic test billet and a specific load of the mechanical press; placing the metallic test billet on the mechanical press at a press load point position where the press load is applied; applying a press load to the test billet; measuring the plastic deformation of the metallic test billet under load in the form of a difference in length of said metallic test billet before and after loading, said length being measured in the direction of loading; and calculating an actual press load at the press load point position from said plastic deformation and said relationship.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
128 words
A method of testing the load of a mechanical press producing an impact load using a metallic test billet, comprising the steps of: establishing a relationship between the plastic deformation of the metallic test billet and a specific load of the mechanical press; placing the metallic test billet on the mechanical press at a press load point position where the press load is applied; applying a press load to the test billet; measuring the plastic deformation of the metallic test billet under load in the form of a difference in length of said metallic test billet before and after loading, said length being measured in the direction of loading; and calculating an actual press load at the press load point position from said plastic deformation and said relationship.
