Title
Standard Test Method for Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction of Plastic Film and Sheeting

ASTM International

Publication Date:
May 1, 2006

Scope:

This test method covers determination of the coefficients of starting and sliding friction of plastic film and sheeting when sliding over itself or other substances at specified test conditions. The procedure permits the use of a stationary sled with a moving plane, or a moving sled with a stationary plane. Both procedures yield the same coefficients of friction values for a given sample.

NOTE 1—For the frictional characteristics of plastic films partially wrapped around a cylinder, or capstan, see Test Method G 143 under the jurisdiction of ASTM Subcommittee G02.50.

Test data obtained by this test method is relevant and appropriate for use in engineering design.

As an option to this test, coefficient of friction may be run at temperatures other than 23°C by heating only the plane while the sled is at ambient temperature.

The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in brackets are for information only.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific precautionary statement, see the end of 6.5.

NOTE 2—This test method is not equivalent to ISO 8295–1995, and results cannot be directly compared between the two methods.

*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standard.
