A theory, apparatus and experimental technique for the continuous determination of the coefficient of friction, μ, in tube sinking are briefly discussed and illustrated by some experimental results. The values of μ which have been obtained are lower than those usually accepted for evaluation of tube sinking theories. Suggestions are made for the further development of the technique.
