Friction Testing 
A friction test, also known as coefficient of friction (COF) testing, measures the resistance to sliding between two surfaces. It's used to determine the static and kinetic friction of materials like films, plastics, and even household items, helping to understand how they interact under various conditions. The results, often expressed as a coefficient of friction (COF), indicate the ease or difficulty of movement between surfaces

Friction testing allows quality control professionals to determine the coefficients of starting and sliding friction of materials such as plastic films, sheeting, household items, conveyor belts, and more. KASON material testing systems will accurately and reliably perform friction testing and automatically calculate properties such as the static coefficient of friction and the dynamic coefficient of friction. We offer universal testing systems equipped with coefficient of friction fixtures featuring a sliding plate and a sled for friction testing. The sliding plate dimensions as well as the sled surface material may be customized based upon your needs.

Below is a list of friction testing standards:
ASTM D1894 – Standard Test Method for Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction of Plastic Film and Sheeting
ASTM D5458 – Standard Test Method for Peel Cling of Stretch Wrap Film 
ISO 8295 – Determination of Coefficients of Friction
ISO 21182 – Light Conveyor Belts – Determination of Coefficient of Friction
