Title: Volumetric properties under pressure for 1,2-dichlorofluoroethane (R141), 1-fluoro-1,1,2-trichloroethane (R131a), and 1,2-dichloro-1,1-difluoroethane (R132b)

The effect of pressure on the volume of R141, R131, and R132b is reported as volume ratios (the volume under pressure relative to its value at atmospheric pressure) at six temperatures covering the range 278.15 to 338.13 K and pressures up to 380 MPa for R141 and R131a. For R132b the same temperature range has been used, but above its normal boiling point experimental arrangements have limited maximum pressures to below 300 MPa, with some loss of accuracy. Densities have been measured at atmospheric pressure for each liquid. The experimental data have been used to calculate isothermal compressibilities, thermal expansivities, and internal pressures; the change in isobaric heat capacity from its value at atmospheric pressure has also been estimated. The volume ratios for all three compounds can be represented by a version of the Tait equation based on previously reported data for 1,2-dichloroethane and 1,1,2-trichloroethane with the inclusion of allowances of the substitution in the former of chlorine or fluorine for the hydrogens on one of the carbons.
