Table 3.

Summary of the film thickness data obtained from interferometry for a pure base oil solution. The blue shading indicates that the measurement was conducted after film buildup (i.e., following a period with no change in temperature or rolling speed). The orange shading indicates that the measurement was conducted after a Stribeck Curve measurement was conducted.
