Model : PCOF - S03(C)

The Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised is a high-precision testing instrument engineered to determine the static and kinetic coefficients of friction between two surfaces. It plays a vital role in assessing the “slip” or “anti-slip” properties of materials such as plastic films, paper, laminates, foils, flexible packaging materials, and textiles.

What is Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised

The Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised is a precision testing instrument designed to measure the static and kinetic friction of materials such as plastic films, paper, laminates, and packaging sheets. This advanced model combines digital accuracy with computerised data recording and analysis, allowing users to evaluate the slip properties of surfaces with high repeatability and reliability. Built with a robust mechanism and user-friendly interface, it provides accurate readings to ensure product consistency and quality control in various industries.

How Does Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised Work

The tester operates by placing a sample material on a flat test platform while a sled or block is placed over it. As the motorized unit pulls the sled at a controlled speed, the instrument measures the force required to initiate and maintain motion between the two surfaces.

The system then calculates the Static Coefficient of Friction (COF) and Kinetic Coefficient of Friction (COF) automatically.

With the digital-cum-computerised feature, the instrument not only displays real-time readings but also allows data to be stored, analyzed, and printed through specialized software for precise documentation and research.

What Are the Benefits of Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised

  • High Accuracy: Digital sensors ensure precise measurement of frictional forces.
  • Computerised Analysis: Enables data storage, graph generation, and detailed reporting for R&D or QA departments.
  • User-Friendly Operation: Easy-to-navigate interface and automated testing process reduce operator error.
  • Consistent Quality Control: Helps maintain uniform surface properties in films, packaging, and other materials.
  • Time-Saving: Quick setup and automated calculations streamline the testing process.
  • Compliance: Meets international testing standards such as ASTM D1894, TAPPI T549, and ISO 8295.

Applications

The Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised is widely used across industries where surface slip properties are critical, including:

  •  Plastic film manufacturers – to test packaging and laminates.
  •  Paper and printing industries – for coating and surface smoothness analysis.
  •  Flexible packaging – to ensure smooth running on form-fill-seal machines.
  •  Textile and fabric testing – for evaluating material glide and texture.
  •  Quality control laboratories – for research, inspection, and certification purposes.

Features & Highlights

  • Slider Block for performing tests – Sample to Sample, glass or metal
  • Display for Dynamic and Kinetic Friction - Force
  • No slippage in case specimen is tightened uniformly using fly screws without any loops.
  • Feather touch controls

Coefficient of friction reveals the stack ability of plastic films. Friction could result from uneven film thickness which leads to uneven film strength. Coefficient of friction tester tells about the degree of abuse a plastic film will sustain without damaging the contents.

 

Optional:

  • Coefficient of Friction Tester Digital cum computerized models also available

 

 

  • Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF) measures the force required to start movement between two surfaces.

  • Kinetic Coefficient of Friction (KCOF) measures the force needed to maintain movement once it has started.
    The tester accurately calculates both to provide a complete understanding of material behavior during handling and processing.

The Coefficient of Friction Tester – Digital Cum Computerised complies with international standards such as ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, and TAPPI T549, ensuring globally accepted and accurate results.

It is widely used in:

  • Plastic film and packaging industries
  • Paper and printing sectors
  • Textile and coating manufacturers
  • Research and development laboratories
  • Quality assurance departments

The tester can be used for a wide range of materials, including:

  • Plastic films and sheets

  • Paper and paperboard

  • Foils and laminates

  • Textile fabrics

  • Coated or printed materials

  • Flexible packaging films

In the packaging industry, the slip properties of films determine how well materials move through automated machinery. Too much friction can cause jamming, while too little can cause sliding or misalignment. COF testing ensures materials perform smoothly during processing and end use.
