Density and Viscosity Measurements of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (Hfc-134A) from 199-K to 298-K and Up to 100-MPa
New density results for liquid 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) along five isotherms from 199 K to 298 K and at pressures up to 100 MPa are presented. The measurements were performed with a new vibrating-wire instrument operated in the forced mode of oscillation and were carried out on a round-robin sample of refrigerant HFC-134a. The viscosity of the fluid was measured simultaneously with the density, using the same vibrating-wire sensor, at temperatures above 248 K over the entire pressure range. The results are compared with recent literature data. The precision of the present values is +/- 0.03% for the density and +/- 0.6% for the viscosity. The corresponding estimated accuracies are +/- 0.05% and +/- 2.5%, respectively.
