ASTM D4918 -Standard Testing Instruments

ASTM D4918 specifies the standard test method used for determining the coefficient of static friction of paper and paperboard through the inclined plane method. The standard helps manufacturers study surface slip characteristics, movement resistance, and handling behavior of paper-based materials under controlled laboratory conditions. It is widely used in packaging, printing, paper converting, and paperboard industries to examine stacking performance, feeding behavior, and material handling properties. ASTM International Presto Laboratories offers advanced coefficient of friction tester systems suitable for ASTM D4918 testing applications. These testing systems help industries measure friction values, surface properties, and material performance for laboratory analysis, product inspection, and production quality control requirements.
