Also known as: Coefficient of Friction Tester, Friction Tester, COF Testing Machine, Film Friction Tester
A coefficient of friction (COF) tester measures the static and kinetic friction between two surfaces — most often two layers of plastic film, or film against a metal or packaging surface. A sled of standard weight rests on the film and is pulled horizontally at constant speed while a load cell records the force needed to start the sled moving (static friction) and to keep it moving (kinetic friction). The ratios of these forces to the sled weight give the static and kinetic COF.
COF is a critical property for film used on high-speed packaging and form-fill-seal machines: too high and the film jams, too low and reels slip and telescope. Film producers, converters and packaging-machinery users test COF to ASTM D1894 and ISO 8295 to ensure smooth machine running and consistent slip-additive performance.
Look for a COF tester with a stable horizontal plane, a precise low-force load cell, a standard sled and controlled test speed. International Equipments' COF (inclined-plane) tester meets ASTM D1894 and can be supplied alongside other film-testing instruments for a complete film QC laboratory.
The United Kingdom's flexible-packaging, medical-packaging, automotive-component and construction-polymer industries maintain well-equipped testing laboratories working to British and ISO standards. International Equipments supplies instruments compliant with BS EN ISO 527, ISO 1133 and BS 2782, giving UK converters and manufacturers standard-compliant testing at a competitive cost. All equipment is CE certified and shipped with complete documentation and calibration certificates, supported by remote training.
International Equipments has been exporting testing instruments from its Mumbai facility since 1971 and understands the documentation and logistics involved in delivering to United Kingdom.
