Measurement of the local skin friction coefficient and re-examination of the low-Reynolds-number effect are made in a zero pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer. The momentum thickness Reynolds number Rθ ranges from 840 to 6220. The wall shear stress τw, is determined from the direct measurement method using a floating element device in a flow field where the two-dimensionality of a boundary layer is examined thoroughly. From the present results of Cf, an empirical formula for Cf and Rθ is proposed and proven to have good accuracy. For the present Rθ range, a log region with a constant χ exists. The additive constant C, however, varies with the Reynolds number. The magnitude of the wake parameter maintains a constant value of 0.62 for Rθ >; 5000. The effect of Rθ on all the turbulent intensities is felt within the sublayer. Both the peak and its location for (uv)^-/u2τ increase with Rθ.
