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 States has one of the world's most demanding markets for plastics and polymer testing, driven by its automotive, packaging, medical-device and aerospace industries and by strict adherence to ASTM standards. International Equipments has supplied CE-certified testing instruments to American laboratories and manufacturers, building UTMs, MFI testers and impact testers that comply fully with ASTM D638, D1238, D256 and D1709. Every export shipment is accompanied by complete documentation and a traceable calibration certificate, and we provide remote training and technical support to ensure smooth commissioning across US time zones.
International Equipments has been exporting testing instruments from its Mumbai facility since 1971 and understands the documentation and logistics involved in delivering to United States of America. Each COF Tester is CE marked, configured for your regional power supply, and shipped with a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, CE declaration of conformity and a traceable calibration certificate. We work with established freight forwarders for safe sea and air delivery, and provide user manuals, video-based training and remote technical support so your team can commission the COF Tester confidently even without an on-site visit.
International Equipments exports precision testing machines to plastics manufacturers and quality labs across the United States. Key industries driving demand for COF Tester in United States of America include Plastics manufacturing, Automotive OEMs, Packaging. Our CE-certified COF Tester complies with ASTM D638, ASTM D1238, ASTM D1709.
