ASTM D 1894 -Standard Testing Instruments

ASTM D1894 specifies the standard test method used for determining the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of plastic films and sheeting materials. The standard helps manufacturers study surface slip properties, friction behavior, material movement, and handling characteristics under controlled laboratory conditions. It is widely used in the packaging, polymer, printing, and flexible film industries to examine machinability, stacking performance, and packaging line efficiency. ASTM International Presto Laboratories offers advanced coefficient of friction tester systems suitable for ASTM D1894 testing applications. These testing systems help industries measure friction values, surface performance, and film quality for product inspection, research analysis, and production quality control requirements.
