We determined the X-ray temperatures of three gravitational lensing clusters, CL0500-24, CL2244-02, and A370, and obtained significant constraints on the surface brightness profile assuming the β-model and the King model profiles. The mass of the cluster estimated from these X-ray data is by a factor of two to three smaller than the mass estimated from lens models for two of the clusters.
