How is the coefficient of friction (COF) measured?
The coefficient of friction (COF) is a parameter used to evaluate how two surfaces interact when they come into contact and move against each other. It applies to a wide range of materials, including lubricants, various metallic and non-metallic materials. The test helps determine how much resistance occurs when one material slides over another, which is essential for optimizing performance and safety in various industries, from manufacturing to consumer goods.
