It is often veryexpensive and time consuming to use surface chemical analy
18、sistechniques to quantify the presence of these films. A simplefriction test like this one performs this function.5.2 This test has been used for over twenty years to detectthe presence of lubricants on the surface of photographic filmsat various stages in manufacture. In this instance the surfacesa
19、re lubricated with waxes and this test reliably detects if thewax is present. It is not used to quantify the amount of wax,only if it is present. This test can be used as a quality test tomake sure that a lubricant is present. Test samples are normallycompared with an unlubricated reference specimen
20、. The coef-ficient of friction of the test samples is compared with thecoefficient of friction of the unlubricated reference specimensto determine if a lubricant is present.6. Apparatus6.1 Friction SliderThe rider in this friction test is aU-shaped device with a paper clip inserted in the center. Th
21、isrider slides on the test web that is attached to the inclinedplane. The material of construction is not important, but thecenter of gravity shall be at least 25 mm below the end of thepaper clip. Acrylic sheet has been determined to be a suitablematerial of construction. The paper clip must be unc
22、oated steeland have a smooth (as opposed to serrated or dull) finish. Theoverall dimensions of suitable paper clips are between 5 and 8mm wide and between 25 and 35 mm long. The wire diametershould be in the range of 0.6 to 0.75 mm. The mass of the slidershould be in the range of 50 to 100 g.6.2 Inc
23、lined PlaneThe dimensions and typical construc-tion of the inclined plane test rig are shown in Fig. 1. Theessential requirements of the inclined plane are:6.2.1 The surface of the inclined plane should be smooth(0.2 m Ra surface roughness) rigid and not deformableunder test conditions. Acrylic shee
24、t has been determined to bean acceptable surface.6.2.2 It shall be narrow and high enough to accommodateunobstructed slider motion.6.2.3 It shall have a device for test material attachment or itshall have sufficient room to allow attachment with two-sidedpressure sensitive adhesive.6.2.4 It shall be
25、 capable of being raised and lowered withsmooth uninterrupted motion and it shall have a means ofclamping the plane at the angle at which rider breakawayoccurs.6.3 Angle MeasurementThe test metric is the angle incli-nation of the inclined plane () when rider motion occurs. Thisangle can be measured
26、by a protractor or by calibration of agage on the device. A suitable device for angle measurement isan electronic level. These devices present a digital anglereadout to two places. The devices reputedly are accurate to60.1. The least count on the angle-measuring protractor shallbe 1.7. Test Procedur
27、e7.1 Sample PreparationTest samples shall be the thick-ness of the test material with a width between 25 and 35 mmand a length of at least 150 mm. Take care to not contaminatethe test with fingerprints or other material that is not normallyfound on the test surface. Outer convolutions of web rolls a
28、reoften contaminated by operators holding the film tight whilethe roll is taped. Do not use outer convolutions for testing.7.2 Test MaterialsAny material that will lay flat on theinclined plane may be tested, but the test was developed for theflexible webs used to make photographic film. Do not use
29、thistest for sandpaper and the like that will damage the papercliprider during the test.7.3 Test ConditionsConduct tests with relative humiditybetween 35 and 55 % and at a temperature of 20 6 5C.Condition samples for 24 h in the test atmosphere prior totesting.7.4 Mounting the WebMount the test web

If the sample is taped to the inclinedplane, do not put the tape in the test area.7.5 Conducting the TestClamp the test rig to a levelhorizontal surface. Raise the sample plane to an arbitraryang
31、le; place the rider (paper-clip) on the inclined plane so thatonly the paper clip touches the test surface. If the rider slidesdown the plane, lower the plane and repeat placement of therider on the test surface. If the rider still freely slides repeat theprocedure until the rider no longer moves on
32、 the inclined plane.Repeat this operation until the maximum angle is determined(to the precision desired) at which point the rider fails to slide.7.5.1 Repeat the procedure twice more on a different area ofthe test sample.

35、fficients inexcess of 0.4. Effective lubricants, well applied, will generallyproduce static coefficients of friction of 0.15 or lower. Howeverthe presence of lubrication can only be determined withcertainty if the paper clip test is conducted on a control samplewith known lubrication. This test is i
36、ntended to identifysurfaces that are supposed to be lubricated and are not, or ifthey are improperly lubricated.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe test variability in interlaboratory testson three lubricated (carnauba wax) and unlubricated plasticwebs is shown in Table 1. The research report incl
37、udes agraphical presentation of all of the test results.39.1.1 The within-laboratory variation was essentially 10 %or less; the between-laboratory variation was in the range of 17to 27 %.9.2 BiasThere is no absolute value of a friction coeffi-cient. It is a product of a particular tribosystem. There
38、fore, thevalue can have no bias. Some of the factors in this test methodthat can cause reproducibility and repeatability problems are asfollows:9.2.1 Contamination of the test surfaces,9.2.2 A burr or nick on the rider,9.2.3 Irregular motion (jerking) in raising or lowering theplane,9.2.4 Temperatur
39、e or humidity differences,9.2.5 A buckle or bubble of the web in the path of the rider,and9.2.6 Air currents directed on the rider.10.
