Static and Kinetic Friction Tester Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Static and Kinetic Friction Tester (Product Code: SLE/ET/06) is a motorised coefficient-of-friction instrument used to measure the force needed to start, and then keep, a sled sliding over a film, sheet or other flat sample in packaging and materials testing laboratories. A 200 gram sled is drawn at 150 mm/minute, readings go up to 9.999 kg, and static and kinetic friction values appear directly on the display. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for buyers of laboratory instruments in India and abroad.

Specifications

What Is the Static and Kinetic Friction Tester Used For?

Packaging films, laminates, papers and coated sheets must slide neither too easily nor too reluctantly on filling lines and in stacks, so their coefficient of friction is checked routinely. In a typical test one piece of material is held flat, a second piece is fitted to the 200 gram sled, and the sled is pulled across at a constant 150 mm/minute; the force needed to break it free gives the static value and the steadier force while sliding gives the kinetic value.

Quality-control labs use it to accept incoming film batches and compare slip additives, while engineering students use it to see the real difference between static and kinetic friction. Keep the sled face and templates clean, avoid touching the test surfaces, and let samples settle to room conditions first, since dust or handling can shift the reading. On the computerised model, the RS 232 link and interface software let results be kept on a PC.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Standard digital-controller model, or computerised model with micro-controller, RS 232 communication and PC interface software
• A PC to run the interface software, if you choose the computerised model
• Any templates needed beyond the three stainless steel templates included (ask us)
• Quantity and delivery location

Related Testing Equipment

Useful companions in a packaging or friction testing laboratory:

• Inclined Plane Tester — measures film friction by tilting a plane instead of pulling the sled.
• Heat Sealer — prepares sealed film samples in the same packaging laboratory.
• Computerised Tensile Tester — measures the strength and elongation of the same films.
• Friction Slide Apparatus — a teaching apparatus for introducing the principles of sliding friction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Static and Kinetic Friction Tester measure?
The Static and Kinetic Friction Tester measures the force needed to start a sled moving and to keep it sliding over a sample, and it displays the resulting static and kinetic friction values directly for film, sheet and similar materials.

What are the sled weight and test speed?
The Static and Kinetic Friction Tester uses a 200 gram sled pulled at 150 mm/minute. Keeping the sled weight and speed fixed makes results from different samples, operators and days directly comparable.

What is the capacity of the Static and Kinetic Friction Tester?
The Static and Kinetic Friction Tester has a capacity of up to 9.999 kg, covering the friction forces produced by its 200 gram sled on films, papers and other flat samples.

Is a computerised version available?
Yes. In the computerised model of the Static and Kinetic Friction Tester, the digital controller is replaced by a micro-controller with RS 232 communication, and interface software is offered for installation on the user’s PC.

Which accessories are included?
The Static and Kinetic Friction Tester comes with three stainless steel templates as accessories. If your laboratory needs additional templates or a spare sled, ask us when you request a quotation.

Who supplies the Static and Kinetic Friction Tester?
The Static and Kinetic Friction Tester is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to packaging, film and engineering laboratories in India and international markets.
