Abstract The surface tension of six alternative refrigerants, i.e., HFC-32 (CH, F, ). HCFC-124 (CHClFCF,), HFC-125 (CHF2CF3). HCFC-14lb ICH,CCI,F). HCFC-142b (CH3CCIF2), and HFC-152a (CH3CHF2), has been measured in the present study. The measurements were conducted under equilibrium conditions between the liquid and its saturated vapor. The differential capillary-rise method (DORM) used two glass capillaries, with inner radii of 0.3034 ± 0.0002 and 0.5717 ±0.0002 mm, respectively. Temperatures in the range from 270 to 340 K were considered. The accuracy of surface tension measurements is estimated to be within ±0.2 mN · m−1. The temperatures are accurate to within ±20 mK. The temperature dependence of the resultant data were successfully represented by van der Waals' correlations to within ±(1.1 mN m−1 for each substance. Available surface tension data are compared with the present data.
