The surface tensions for 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R-143a), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a), 1,1-dichloro-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropane (R-225ca), and 1,3-dichloro-1,2,2,3,3-pentafluoropropane (R-225cb) have been measured by the differential capillary rise method. The results were obtained in the temperature range between 273 K and 343 K. The experimental uncertainties of temperature and surface tension are estimated to be within +/-20 mK and +/-0.15 mN m(-1), respectively. A correlation for the surface tension as a function of temperature is presented.
