Coefficient of Friction Tester

Coefficient of Friction Tester Digital

Effective Lab India manufactures friction coefficient testers under various levels of ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, or TAPPI T816 standards. Packaging films of these materials are used to measure the value of products and ensure their safety during shipping and handling.

The Friction Tester measures the coefficient of friction (COF) for materials like plastics, films, and paper. COF is a dimensionless value indicating the frictional relationship between two surfaces, crucial for packaging and material testing. It helps determine both static and dynamic friction, ensuring product performance and quality in various applications.

Advanced Corrosion Co-efficient of Friction Tester Digital for rigorous testing, ensuring durability in harsh environments

The Coefficient of Friction Tester of friction depends on the objects that cause friction, therefore lab testing equipment is used to determine the value of the friction on different materials. Several people are confused that the value of friction is limited to the values between zero and one. It means that normal force is less than friction force.

So, for determining the value of friction on different devices, you should try the Coefficient of Friction tester manufactured by Effective Lab India. You can easily get it from Effective Lab India at an affordable price.

Uses of Coefficient of Friction Tester

It is used to test the value of the coefficient of friction on different things. For your ease, we have listed some common uses of the Coefficient of Friction Tester. Let us discuss.

  • The coefficient of Friction Tester is used in the packaging industry. With the help of this testing equipment, you can test the value of friction on several things such as paper, plastic films etc.
  • The coefficient of static friction allows you to measure the static and kinetic coefficients of the materials.
  • Kinetic friction testers allow the manufacturers to determine the stacking ability of plastic sheets.
  • The main common and important use of COF is to prevent accidents that happen due to friction in transportation.
  • Also, this testing equipment is used to test the friction value of solid fiberboard.

COF determines how easily a package slides or moves during transit, which is important in the packaging, plastics, film, paper, textiles and coating industries. They determine when the COF is too low the packaging can slide too easily resulting in a reduced chance of damage to the contents and conversely when the COF is too high the contents of the package cannot move or slide resulting in difficulties and delays in handling.

Thus, Effective Lab India has designed the high quality of laboratory testing coefficient of friction tester. The COF tester is used to test the friction properties of various packaging materials and also ensure that the products are not damaged during shipping and transportation. This testing equipment will assess the stack ability of plastic films and ensure they do not slip during shipping and transportation.
