Kataoka, Ishii and Serizawa analyzed the measurements of the local time-averaged interfacial area concentration in two-phase flow with a two-point conductivity probe. They considered the influence of the bubble velocity fluctuation on the measurement and directly transferred the mathematics concept of the local time-averaged interfacial area concentration into the measurable parameters. In the end of the derivation, however, the expression of the interfacial area concentration was inappropriate due to the over-simplification to the integration limits of the probability distributions. Consequently, the resultant interfacial area concentration may be significantly lower than the actual value. Since the formula is very important for the interpretation of experimental data, we feel it is necessary to provide a correction to the original work.
