Inspire friction tester is primarily designed to determine the co-efficient of friction of plastic films, sheets, laminates, pipes and paper etc. The equipment provides measurement of static and kinetic co-efficient of friction. The apparatus conforms to BS 2782 and ASTM D –1894 and other equivalent standards.

Measurement of frictional properties may be made on a film or sheeting specimen when sliding over itself or over another substance. The co-efficient of friction are related to the slip properties of plastic films that are of wide interest in packaging application. These methods yield empirical data for control purpose in film production. Co-relation of test results with actual performance can usually be established.
