Friction / COF Tester

Coefficient of Friction Tester / COF Tester

Friction tester is a kind of testing equipment which is used to measure coefficient of friction (COF) for materials. Basically, there are two kinds of coefficients: static coefficient of friction and kinetic coefficient of friction. Coefficient of friction testing is widely valued for its important role in the processes of production, transportation and marketing.

Coefficient of Friction tester conforms to the multiple national and international standards:

  • ASTM D1894 - Standard Test Method for Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction of Plastic Film and Sheeting
  • ASTM D202 - Standard Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Untreated Paper Used for Electrical Insulation
  • ASTM D4918 - Standard Test Method for Coefficient of Static Friction of Uncoated Writing and Printing Paper by Use of the Inclined Plane Method (Withdrawn 2010)
  • ISO 8295 - Plastics -- Film and sheeting -- Determination of the coefficients of friction
  • TAPPI T815 - Coefficient of static friction (slide angle) of packaging and packaging materials (including shipping sack papers, corrugated and solid fiberboard) (inclined plane method)
  • TAPPI T816 - Coefficient of Static Friction of Corrugated and Solid Fiberboard (Horizontal Plane Method)
