High-temperature tribometer GM-4

for friction testing

Product Overview
The GBPI GM-4 Coefficient of Friction Tester measures static and dynamic friction coefficients of materials such as plastic films, composite films, aluminum foils, aluminized films, plates, rubber and ceramics during sliding. It provides accurate evaluation of slipperiness, ease of opening and surface uniformity to support production control and R&D decisions.

Compliance Standards
ASTM D1894
