A basic understanding can lead to better field results. At the heart of this science is coefficient of friction (COF), the measurement of which is sometimes called \u201ctribiology.\u201d There are many ways to calculate COF, however it is highly dependent on use conditions. While COF is a constant in tension equations, it is used as a dynamic factor that encompasses other field conditions. This may be called the <em>effective<\/em> coefficient of friction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"border: 3px solid #333399; padding: 1em; text-align: left;\"><strong>COF Defined:<\/strong> COF is defined as the ratio between the force necessary to move one surface horizontally over another and the force between the two surfaces. COF is used to predict force or tension.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Factors Influencing the Value:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>COF is dependent on the two surfaces rubbing across each other, but multiple factors influence the value.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Materials<\/strong>\u2014variations in material composition influence COF. Polymers may have added fillers or plasticizers. Metal alloys may perform differently, but more often we see difference in the smoothness of finish. Plastic coatings, metal oxides, and other surface variations will all influence COF.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Movement<\/strong>\u2014the energy to initiate motion (static COF) is higher than that required to keep the object moving (kinetic COF).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Normal Force<\/strong>\u2014higher pressure will change the surface properties as well. In cable pulling science this is seen as lower COF in bends, under high sidewall force.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temperature<\/strong>\u2014depending on the situation and material, temperature will directly affect COF. Cable and conduit materials soften under high temperature and stiffen when cold.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lubricant Application<\/strong>\u2014lowers the COF between two surfaces. Lubricants respond to materials differently and are also impacted by the factors above. The lubricant needs to fully coat the surface as the two materials are pressed and rubbed together. Some surfaces are more difficult than others, which is a topic for future blogposts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border: 3px solid #273A80; background-color: #69c3e8; margin: 15px 0px 15px 0px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 20px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polywater.com\/en\/knowledge-hub\/coefficient-of-friction-in-cable-pulling-post-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Related Content: <\/strong>Coefficient of Friction in Cable Pulling \u2013 Part 2<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong>COF Measurement &amp; Selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, what COF provides the best cable pulling tension estimates for field planning and optimal cable system design? Is it 0.50 or 0.35? The correct answer? It depends.<\/p>\n<p>The best COF used to predict cable tension can be described as the <em>effective<\/em> COF. It considers all factors above: the materials, sidewall tension, and&#8211;of high importance&#8211;the lubricant used. It can also be increased to account for unknown duct conditions, high conduit fill, etc. Luckily for engineers and installers, Polywater\u00ae developed and maintains a comprehensive database of effective COFs, providing users access to years of pull data.<\/p>\n<p>Polywater\u2019s extensive COF database, which supports our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polywater.com\/en\/pull-planner-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pull-Planner\u2122<\/a> software was developed from actual cables and conduits. Our knowledge base is built on a variety of test methods and field results. The key to this testing is to know and measure the forces placed on the two materials in order to derive the friction coefficient. In these tests, different cable and conduit types from a variety of manufacturers and material variations are used to mimic field conditions. Our database is built with a broad selection of each material type and thousands of individual tests.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border: 3px solid #273A80; background-color: #69c3e8; margin: 15px 0px 15px 0px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 20px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polywater.com\/en\/knowledge-hub\/coefficient-of-friction-in-cable-pulling-part-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Related Content: <\/strong>Coefficient of Friction\u202fin Cable Pulling Tension from Conduit Bends<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Polywater has a long history and extensive database of friction measurement.
