  • EURAMET.T-K9 regional key comparison ITS-90 SPRT calibration from the Ar TP to the Zn FP

    by Fernando Sparasci, Lara Risegari, Catherine Martin, Yves Hermier, Giuseppina Lopardo, Petrus Paulus Maria Steur, Jonathan Pearce, Lars Bünger, Steffen Rudtsch, Conny de Bruin-Barendregt, et al.

    Main text: This is a report to the Technical Committee for Thermometry of EURAMET (EURAMET TC-T) on the regional key comparison EURAMET.T-K9 of SPRT calibration on the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90), from 83.8058 K (the Ar triple point) to 692.677 K (the Zn fixed point). The transfer standards used are long-stem SPRTs. EURAMET.T-K9 is an RMO key comparison linked to the CIPM key comparison CCT-K9. The comparison is organized in five separate collapsed Stars, each one having a CCT-K9 participant as pilot, which provides the link to the KCRV of CCT-K9. Four to five participating laboratories are involved in each Star. The pilots of the five Stars are LNE-Cnam, PTB, INRiM, VSL, NPL. LNE-Cnam is also the coordinator of the comparison, in charge of the collection of the measurement reports from all participants and the preparation of the final report.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCT, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).


  • ITS-90 SPRT calibration from the Ar TP to the Zn FP

    by Tobias Herman, Michal Chojnacky, Ken Hill, Steffen Rudtsch, Inseok Yang, Petrus Paulus Maria Steur, Roberto Dematteis, Giuseppina Lopardo, Fernando Sparasci, Catherine Martin, et al.

    Main text: This is a report to the Consultative Committee for Thermometry (CCT) on the key comparison 9 of Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) calibration on the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) [1] from 83.8058 K (the Ar triple point) to 692.677 K (the Zn freezing point). The comparison followed a collapsed star protocol, with each of the fourteen participating laboratories shipping two standard platinum resistance thermometers (SPRTs) as transfer standards to the pilot laboratory (National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST) for a direct comparison of SPRT calibration at the National Metrology Institute (NMI) of origin to calibration at NIST. Measurements were taken at the participating laboratories before and after measurement at NIST to assess the effect of transportation on the transfer standards. The pooled results from all laboratories were combined to calculate a key comparison reference value (KCRV). This report includes the calculation of, and comparisons to, the KCRV as well as bilateral comparisons between labs. In addition, there is space devoted to analysis of the shifts in SPRT values following travel. To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report. Note that this text is that which appears in Appendix B of the BIPM key comparison database https://www.bipm.org/kcdb/. The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCT, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).


  • Temperatur-Komparator auf Basis eines druckgeregelten Wärmerohres

    by Stephan Krenek, Steffen Rudtsch

    Zusammenfassung: Der Vergleich der Temperaturwerte, die von unterschiedlichen Thermometern wiedergegeben werden, ist eine fundamentale Aufgabe in der Thermometrie. Hierzu ist es notwendig die verschiedenen Interpolationsinstrumente zwischen den Fixpunkten der Internationalen Temperaturskala von 1990 (ITS‑90) zu vergleichen, um konsistente Temperaturwerte mit geringsten Unsicherheiten zu messen. Besonders zwischen den Erstarrungspunkten von Aluminium (660.323 ○C) und Silber (961.78 ○C) sind diese Vergleiche wichtig. Trotzdem gibt es nur sehr wenige Vergleichsmessplätze für diesen Temperaturbereich mit einer ausreichenden Temperaturstabilität. Ein führender Hersteller von Wärmerohren und die PTB haben gemeinsam ein neues System entwickelt, das auf einem Natriumwärmerohr und einer mechanischen Druckregelung basiert. Dieser sogenannte „Very Stable Temperature Comparator (VSTC)“ kombiniert die exzellente Temperaturhomogenität, die von Wärmerohröfen bekannt ist, mit einer Stabilität im Millikelvinbereich, die durch die Regelung des Natriumdampfdruckes erreicht wird. Mit diesem Messplatz können die Messwerte von bis zu fünf Thermometern bei beliebigen Temperaturen zwischen 600 ○C und 1000 ○C verglichen werden. Erste Messungen zeigen eine Temperaturstabilität von 1.4 mK bei 1000 ○C. Der VSTC und seine mechanische Druckregelung werden genauer beschrieben. Dabei werden auch die Aspekte diskutiert, die notwendig sind, um ein sicheres Arbeiten mit Natrium als Arbeitsmedium des Wärmerohres zu gewährleisten.
