Abstract

This paper presents an update on a friction benchmark, that was proposed during the 13th ESAFORM conference. The goal is to compare different friction test set-ups [1-4] by determining the coefficient of friction (CoF) for Twintex® PP. The benchmark instructions are based on the ASTM standard D1894 [5] but also account for different friction velocities, pressures and temperatures. At the time of writing five research groups contributed to the benchmark, each with a custom designed test set-up, differing in size, mechanism, force control and temperature regulation. All tests will be conducted with woven glass reinforced polypropylene, from the same Twintex® batch. Conclusions will be drawn about the comparability of different testing methods by recognizing and analyzing systematically deviating results.
