C0049 - Coefficient of Friction Tester

Product details

The C0049 Coefficient of Friction Tester is designed to determine the friction properties 

of plastic films, foils, laminates, papers and boards.  The equipment performs tests to most 

of the recognised international test standards including IS0 8295 and ASTM 1894-78.

The equipment is essential for measuring the slip properties of packaging materials to 

ensure smooth running on production packaging machines or to measure the effect that 

a coating or print has on base material.

The new C0049 features the latest in design and technology for machine set up, testing, 

measurement and recording using touch panel screen display units. 

The constant, smooth lead screw driven cross arm ensures reliable and repeatable measurement. 

Other benefits include: Vacuum suction on the bed to clamp the material, optional temperature

control circuit to heat the bed for `hot slip´ values, together with analogue recorder output and 

RS232 output for either chart recorder logging or computer data logging of results.
