Model FX-7300 Electronic Film Coefficient of Friction Tester

COF TESTER – OAKLAND FX-7300

Electronic Coefficient of Friction Tester

The OAKLAND FX-7300 is a digital COF tester designed to measure the static and kinetic coefficients of friction of various materials, including plastic films, coatings, paperboard, textiles, and paper.

It fully complies with:
- ASTM D1894 – Standard Test Method for Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction of Plastic Film and Sheeting
- TAPPI T 549 – Coefficients of Static and Kinetic Friction of Uncoated Writing and Printing Paper by the Horizontal Plane Method

Key Features:

• Default slide speed: 6 inches per minute (ipm), with additional selectable speeds (1, 2, 5, 10 ipm) for seal strength and peel tests

• Precision sample cutter included, compliant with ASTM D1894, for time-saving and consistent sample preparation

• Manual or digital operation: Integrated keyboard, real-time digital display for instant results

• High accuracy: ±0.15% full scale; error margin: 0.001; resolution: 0.1 grams

• USB connectivity: Seamless PC connection for quick data export and storage

• Data visualization: Generates detailed friction coefficient graphs and tables (both static and kinetic)

• Calibration kit included for routine accuracy verification

Applications:

• Plastic films and packaging materials

• Coated and uncoated papers

• Folding cartons and paperboard

• Technical textiles

• Flexible packaging industry

• Quality control and R&D labs
