1、Designation:D 4917 97(Reapproved 2007)An American National StandardStandard Test Method forCoefficient of Static and Kinetic Friction of UncoatedWriting and Printing Paper by Use of the Horizontal PlaneMethod1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4917;the number immediately following
2、 the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method describes
3、a horizontal plane procedurefor the determination of the coefficient of static and kineticfriction of paper measured when sliding against itself.1.2 Although this test method is basic in concept,theprecision statement has been developed on uncoated writingand printing papers.While the use of this te
4、st method isrecommended for those grades only,it may be used with othertypes of papers giving specific attention to special papercharacteristics and with the understanding that the precisionand bias may not be the same.1.3 The horizontal instrument requires some means ofmovement of the specimen in r
5、elation to the surface uponwhich it rests.The coefficient of friction(COF)is measureddirectly from the resistance to tangential motion and theapplied weight pressing two pieces of paper together.1.4 Static COF relates to the force required to initiatemovement between two surfaces while kinetic COF r
6、elates tothe force required to cause continuation of the movement atuniform speed.1.5 An inclined plane method is described in Test MethodD 4918,which gives similar results for static COF but TestMethod D 4918 cannot be used for the determination of kineticCOF.The choice of approach depends on the e
7、quipmentavailable and the means of measurement.1.6 The determination of this characteristic for corrugatedand solid fiberboard is described in Test Methods D 4521 andD 3247.These test methods differ in that in Test MethodsD 4521 and D 3247,the two specimens are allowed to slipupon one another three
8、times before the force measurement isdetermined,while in this test method the determination is madeon the first slip.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate s
9、afety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D 528 Test Method for Machine Direction of Paper andPaperboardD 585 Practice for Sampling and Accepting a Single Lot ofPaper,Paperboard,Fiberboard,and Related
