Coefficient of Friction (COF) Tester
A coefficient of friction (COF) tester is used to measure the static and kinetic friction of flexible packaging materials, such as plastic films, laminates, and coated papers. This helps manufacturers ensure smooth processing, stacking, and handling of packaging materials.
Confirms to : ASTM D1894 / ISO 8295 / TAPPI T549
Lead Time : 6-8 weeks
Coefficient of Friction (COF) Tester
Types of Test :
-
- Static COF Measurement: Determines the force required to initiate movement between two surfaces.
- Kinetic COF Measurement: Measures the force needed to maintain movement once sliding begins.
Technical Specifications :
- Digital Model with Backlit LCD Display
- With Embedded Push Button Control on Digital Indicator / Controller.
- Ball-Screw driven actuator for smooth and maintenance-free operation.
- Hybrid Stepper Motor with Drive for precise speed control and Vibration / Noise Free operation.
- Automatic Calculation of Static & Dynamic COF. No Calculation Required.
- Optional Software to capture test data on to the PC directly through the software and generate PDF test & calibration reports.
