Relation between surface finish and friction coefficient

I want to know the relation between the surface finish value and co-efficient of friction. That is, if I have the value of surface finish with me, and also the type of material and cross-sectional area, then how to determine the co-efficient of friction.

You can find that information in tables in a physics or better an applied mechanics book.
