1.1本指南涵盖了有助于选择材料摩擦性能测量方法的信息。提出了最低数据要求和呈现这些数据的格式。使用建议的报告表将提高特定实验室内测试结果的长期有用性，并促进实验室之间的测试结果交换。希望使用统一的报告格式将为编写手册和计算机化数据库提供基础。 1.2本指南适用于大多数固体材料以及大多数摩擦测量技术和测试设备。 1.3 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 ====意义和用途====== 本指南指出了在进行有效测试以确定摩擦系统摩擦系数时必须考虑的因素，并鼓励使用摩擦数据的标准报告格式。 5.1.1对于有效测试而言，重要的因素可能不明显- 摩擦学家和参考的摩擦测试将有助于选择最适合模拟感兴趣的摩擦系统的设备和测试技术。 摩擦学文献中充满了其他人无法轻易使用的摩擦数据，因为没有提供用于开发数据的摩擦学系统的细节。本指南的总体目标是提供一种报告格式，使计算机数据库易于建立。可以在这些数据库中搜索感兴趣的材料偶和摩擦系统。它们的使用将大大减少每个实验室自己进行测试的需要。 将提供有关试验条件的充分信息，以确定摩擦数据对工程师特定需求的适用性。

1.1 This guide covers information to assist in the selection of a method for measuring the frictional properties of materials. Requirements for minimum data and a format for presenting these data are suggested. The use of the suggested reporting form will increase the long-term usefulness of the test results within a given laboratory and will facilitate the exchange of test results between laboratories. It is hoped that the use of a uniform reporting format will provide the basis for the preparation of handbooks and computerized databases. 1.2 This guide applies to most solid materials and to most friction measuring techniques and test equipment. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. ====== Significance And Use ====== This guide points out factors that must be considered in conducting a valid test for determination of the coefficient of friction of a tribosystem, and it encourages the use of a standard reporting format for friction data. 5.1.1 The factors that are important for a valid test may not be obvious to non-tribologists, and the friction tests referenced will assist in selecting the apparatus and test technique that is most appropriate to simulate a tribosystem of interest. The tribology literature is replete with friction data that cannot readily be used by others because specifics are not presented on the tribosystem that was used to develop the data. The overall goal of this guide is to provide a reporting format that will enable computer databases to be readily established. These databases can be searched for material couples and tribosystems of interest. Their use will significantly reduce the need for each laboratory to do its own testing. Sufficient information on test conditions will be available to determine applicability of the friction data to the engineer’specific needs.
