1) The coefficient of
friction between two materials in relative sliding may depend on contact
pressure, surface roughness of the relative harder contact surface, temperature,
sliding velocity and the type of lubricant whether the level of contamination.
It's the reason that the data found in the many reference tables avaiable may
show a large variation.

More reliable data of friction coefficients is obtained from measurement in
specific applications. For details consult the tables in the book
