The friction tester is primarly designed to determine the Co-Efficient of Friction of Plastic films, sheets, laminate, pipes and paper etc. The equipment provides the measurement of static and kinetic co-efficient of friction. The apparatus conforms to BS 2782 and ASTM D-1894 and other equivalent standards.

Measurement of frictinal properites may be made on a film or sheeting specimen when sliding over itself of over another substance. The co-efficient of friction arer related to the slip properties of plastic films that are of wide interestin packaging application.These methods yield empirical data for control purposes in film production.Correlation of test results with actual performance can usually be established.
