Friction Test to ASTM, ISO and TAPPI standards - FT1

Coefficient of Friction, static and kinetic, is used in a variety of materials from lubricants, to films to household items (ceramic tiles) to
determine the frictional characteristics of a material.
The FT1 is a bench mounted, single lead screw dedicated friction
tester. A friction table is mounted directly on the machine, with a full
set of accessories included to perform tests conforming to the requirements of ASTM D1894, ISO 8295 and TAPPI T549. The tester
includes these standards as user configurable tests, with a further
seven available for user custom configuration. User configurable
test screens allow for final movement limits, calculation limits (relative and absolute), sled weights and dimensions.
