Nonwoven Fabric Dynamic Friction Tester

Compliance Standards

INDA Test Method IST 140.1

Instrument Description

This fabric friction tester can measure the static and kinetic friction coefficients of non - woven fabrics. It can be used to test the slippage of non - woven fabrics against themselves, as well as their slippage on the surfaces of other objects. The instrument consists of a flat plate, to which the sample is attached. During the test, the plate moves at a constant speed of 150mm/min and remains horizontal. The second sample is fixed on a sliding plate connected to the measuring device. When the driving device is activated, the pulling force increases to its maximum value. This pulling force, measured by the force - measuring device, is equivalent to the static friction coefficient. When the driving device continues to operate, the force - measuring device can measure the average force, which is equal to the kinetic friction coefficient.

Product Advantages:

Measures Both Static and Kinetic Friction: Provides comprehensive data on both the force required to initiate movement and the force required to maintain movement.

Quantitative Data: Yields objective, numerical values for friction coefficients.

Specific for Nonwovens: Designed and standardized specifically for nonwoven fabrics, addressing their unique surface characteristics.

Standard Compliant: Performs testing strictly according to INDA Test Method IST 140.1. ensuring results are comparable and accepted within the nonwovens industry.

Predicts Material Behavior: The friction data helps predict how the nonwoven will perform in applications involving sliding or layering.

Versatile Testing: Can test nonwovens against themselves or against other materials/surfaces.
