ASTM G143 testing systems provide a practical method for characterizing the friction behavior of flexible materials under conditions that closely resemble actual web handling processes. Unlike flat-surface friction tests, web\/roller friction testing evaluates the interaction between a moving web and a cylindrical surface, making it particularly valuable for converting and transport applications.<\/p>\r\n
Modern testing equipment can accurately measure both static and kinetic friction forces while supporting configurable parameters such as roller diameter, wrap angle, specimen tension, and sliding velocity. Automated force acquisition and data analysis improve measurement repeatability and reduce operator variability.<\/p>\r\n
The equipment is suitable for a broad range of materials including films, paper, foils, fabrics, laminates, and coated substrates. In addition to standardized ASTM G143 testing, customized fixtures and application-specific configurations can be developed to simulate unique web transport systems, production environments, or research requirements. This flexibility allows laboratories and manufacturers to obtain friction data that is directly relevant to product performance and process optimization.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.packqc.com\/nn\/product-category\/astm-standard\/astm-g143\/","name":"ASTM G143","slug":"astm-g143","taxonomy":"product-category","parent":441,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packqc.com\/nn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category\/622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packqc.com\/nn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packqc.com\/nn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product-category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packqc.com\/nn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category\/441"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packqc.com\/nn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/products?product-category=622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
