Description

We know that it’s a significant investment to buy a quality tribometer. Whether you’re testing a new process or doing a coating test where you only need to take a few sets of measurements it’s very cost effective to rent.

Rental period starts the day after the GS-1 is delivered to your location and the day the GS-1 is delivered to shipper for return. The GS-1 must be returned within 3 days of the end of the rental period. Additional days beyond 3 delivery days will be invoiced as rental days. Shipping from/to Substratum is not included and can be coordinated by Substratum to simplify the rental process.

Rental information is based on customer location with United States.

The GS-1 is the most technologically advanced, accurate and easy-to-use slip meter available today. Fully digital and automatic, it provides a wealth of detailed data at the push of a button. The GS-1 connects directly to your computer via USB for rapid analysis and permenant storage.

The GS-1 measures both the static and dynamic coefficients of friction, providing an accurate measurement of surface slipperiness in both dry and wet conditions while taking multiple sequential measurements to ensure the highest level of accuracy and to produce an average slip coefficient value. It provides the raw data as well as automatically calculated findings can be saved and printed onto an 8.5 x 11 inch paper appropriate for written reports and courtroom presentations. The GS-1 relies upon unique, patent pending technology to seamlessly integrate a comprehensive range of features far beyond what other tribometers offer.

For the professional seeking the most accurate and true COF measurements, the GS-1 is the most versatile and powerful option.
