Category:Other
Introduction
The RIDER Method Single Fiber Friction Tester is a high-precision instrument designed to measure the static and dynamic friction coefficients of single fibers. It is specially developed to comply with JIS standards for chemical fibers and general yarns, providing highly repeatable and accurate measurements regardless of operator experience.
This device features a dedicated high-capacity load sensor, automatic friction coefficient calculation, and versatile measurement capabilities for both fiber-to-fiber and fiber-to-solid interactions.
Standards Compliance
JIS L1015 – Chemical fiber binding test method
JIS L1095 – General yarn test method (friction coefficient)
Application Scope
Evaluation of friction properties of single fibers in research and development
Quality control in textile and chemical fiber production
Material testing for yarn processing and textile engineering
Determination of static and dynamic friction coefficients for fibers in industrial applications
