Test Name Co-efficient of friction testing

Principle It functions on the principle of horizontally pulling a flat block of a known mass across a material located on a flat table.
The peak force required to initiate movement (Static) and the average force required to maintain movement (Kinetic)
are accurately and repeatable measured to determine the coefficients.
