Tribometrical
Tribometrical refers to the measurement of tribological phenomena. Tribology is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It encompasses the study of friction, wear, and lubrication. Therefore, tribometrical techniques are employed to quantify these properties. This involves using specialized instruments and methodologies to collect data on parameters such as coefficient of friction, wear rate, surface roughness changes, and lubricant film thickness.
The goal of tribometrical analysis is to understand and predict the behavior of interacting surfaces under
Common tribometrical methods include pin-on-disk tests, reciprocating tribometers, and block-on-ring testers. These setups typically involve applying
