Lab Master Slip and Friction

The Lab Master® Slip and Friction is designed to precisely determine the friction characteristics of numerous materials. It removes operator variability from the test procedure with specially designed features to control sled placement rate, orientation/angle, dwell time, and removal. The new Windows ™ Based Software features: The ability to create user-defined test setup with built-in ASTM, ISO and TAPPI methods, individual test speed selection for both static and kinetic COF, exporting capabilities of graphs or data to Microsoft Excel® and SPC files, and enhanced calibration-verifies existing and new calibration, and keeps a calibration log for ISO record-keeping.
