* Friction values shown are for guide purposes only since values deviate with changes in temperature, pressure and speed. Practical design should include a 25 to 50 percent safety factor.

** Rubbing speed, drum temperature, and pressure are directly related. Changing only one value will change the others. The values shown represent typical conditions, but are not the ultimate limits of the material.
