Applications
Used to determine the static and kinetic coefficients of friction of plastic film and paper when sliding the specimen over itself under controlled test conditions. A sheet of the specimen is secured to a horizontal bed and another sample of the specimen is drawn across the test bed specimen.This measures the force required to overcome the frictional resistance between the two imposed surfaces, when one surface is moved relative to the other along their plane of contact. The static coefficient of friction is determined by the force required to overcome the initial resistance between the two surfaces. The kinetic coefficient of friction is determined from the subsequent force when continuously sliding at a constant rate.

Standards Applicable
ASTM D1894, ISO 8295 and TAPPI T549
