global
testing
requirements.
-
Accurate
Angle
and
COF
Measurements:
The
inclined
plane
angle
can
be
adjusted
between
0°
to
60°
with
an
accuracy
of
0.01°.
The
static
coefficient
of

(COF)
is
calculated
as
the
tangent
of
the
angle
at
which
the
sample
block
begins
to
slide.
-
Efficient
Testing
Mechanism:
The
inclined
plane
is
raised
at
a
rate
of
1.5±0.5°
per
second
by
an
electric
motor,
providing
a
smooth
and
precise
measurement
of
the
static
COF.
-
Microprint
Feature:
For
easy
result
documentation,
the
Inclined
Plane
Coefficient
Of
Friction
Tester
offers
a
microprint
function,
allowing
you
to
print
out
test
results
quickly
and
efficiently.
-
Optional
Software
and
Connectivity:
The
instrument
comes
with
RS232
connectivity
and
optional
professional
software
for
advanced
data
analysis
and
management,
enhancing
your
testing
experience.
-
Adjustable
Sled
Weights:
The
tester
offers
a
variety
of
sled
weights
(200g,
235g,
or
1300g),
ensuring
versatility
in
testing
different
types
of
materials.
