Friction and Peel Tester

A dedicated microprocessor controlled tester for measuring the static friction and kinetic friction of sheet material and calculating the coefficient of friction. A heated bed plates option allows hot slip to be measured.Attachments for performing 90 °, 180 ° and T peel.

A dedicated microprocessor controlled tester for measuring the static friction and kinetic friction of sheet material and calculating the coefficient of friction. A heated bed plates option allows hot slip to be measured. Attachments for performing 90°, 180° and T peel.

The Friction/Peel Tester is an extremely versatile instrument for measuring the static and kinetic coefficient of friction as well as peel properties of paper, paperboard, plastic films, adhesives, labels and packaging materials.

The FP-2250 utilizes a new multifunctional keypad which allows the user to easily navigate through the multiple menu options. The crosshead and the load cell are adjustable on the FP-2250 to simplify the change between various test set ups.   The new system also features an Auto Return/Stop at the end of the test.

One of the best features of the FP-2250 is the new large front panel display screen.   The display is 240mm x 64mm and is designed so that the test results can be easily read by the operator.   The memory capacity on the FP-2250 can store 127 individual tests for each mode, COF, Peel and Tensile.

The FP-2250 offers optional accessories to perform low capacity tensile and seal strength tests (up to 10 kg/22 lbs), 90° peel, T-Peel, delamination tests, a sled lifting device to meet ISO 15359, and a Heated Platen for testing at elevated temperatures up to 350 °.

The FP-2250 can transmit raw data and test reports to an external PC via a RS-232 or USB data communication port. We offer FP-DAS software which allows the user to send data to an external PC for additional analysis.
