Application
The VIP 128T Incline Plane Coefficient of Friction Tester is designed to measure the static coefficient of friction (COF) of a wide range of materials using a variable inclined plane and a sliding block. It accurately assesses the static COF of plastic films, sheets, rubber, paper, paperboard, woven and non-woven fabrics, wood, coatings, brake pads, and more. This versatile device ensures consistent and reliable results across diverse material types.
Compliance with International Standards
- ASTM D202
- ASTM D4918
- TAPPI T815
Testing Principle
The VIP 128T determines the static COF by identifying the precise angle at which one test surface begins to slide against another inclined surface. As the incline increases at a constant and preset rate, the COF value is calculated as the tangent of the sliding angle. This method ensures accurate and repeatable measurements.
The VIP 128T Incline Plane Coefficient of Friction Tester offers unparalleled precision and ease of use, making it an indispensable tool for quality control and material performance assessment in various industries.
