ASTM Coefficient of Friction Tester

The ASTM Coefficient of Friction Tester calculates the coefficient of friction by measuring the resistance when the surfaces of materials slide relative to each other. A slider moves along the surface of the sample under standard pressure, and sensors record the frictional force data. It is used to control the slipperiness of materials such as packaging films and paper, guiding production line adjustments and evaluating storage stacking safety.
Selection
When selecting, confirm the compatibility of testing standards, such as ASTM D1894. Choose a flat plate or inclined structure based on the material thickness. The load sensor range must cover the material to be tested. Consider temperature and humidity control modules to adapt to different environmental conditions. The equipment should be equipped with a leveling adjustment device to ensure testing accuracy.
