Full Description

1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the kinetic frictional properties of a moving yarn in contact with a solid material.

Note 1 - For determining yarn-to-yarn friction, refer to Test Method D3412.

1.2 This test method specifies a relative speed of 100 m/min. The test method may be used at other speeds, although with a possible change in precision and coefficient of friction.

1.3 This test method covers the measurement of the coefficient of kinetic friction between yarn and solid surface or surfaces of constant radius in the contact area. If a yarn of uniform value is used, comparisons of frictional properties of different solid materials can be made with relation to that yarn. If a given solid material is used, comparisons of frictional properties of different yarns, or yarns with different finishes, can be made with relation to that particular solid material.

1.4 This test method specifically recommends wrap angles of 3.14 and 6.28 radian (180 and 360
