HFC 134a (foam)	197.3	236.1	184.3	218.3	169.7	54.7
HFC 134a (refrigerant)	141.0	152.4	124.7	152.9	202.7	36.0
HFC-134a (foam, exp)	1.6	49.2	15.9	7.3	20.9	33.8	36.4

It should be noted that this is an over simplification since the quantity of HFC used for foam and refrigerant varies depending on the producer and product size. The average quantities used in evaluation are shown in Table 2.
