Abstract
As part of a comprehensive program to develop suitable methods of chemical analysis for alternative refrigerants and their products, we have compiled a database of spectral, chromatographic, and physical property data that can aid in compound identification. As a small part of this effort, we have measured the refractive indices of a number of such fluids for which data were unavailable. The measurements were performed on a commercially available, digital Abbe refractometer that was modified for the relatively low temperature measurements (0 °C to 20 °C) that are sometimes required with these samples.
