Measurements of temperatures on the International Practical Temperature Scale

Manna, Mono M (1965) Measurements of temperatures on the International Practical Temperature Scale. MSc(R) thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

The work described in the thesis was undertaken as part of a programme of research into the thermodynamic and transport properties of steam, and deals with two aspects of measurements of temperatures on the International Practical Temperature Scale. 1. In Section 1 the investigation deals with the reproducibility of Platinum: 10% Rhodium-Platinum thermocouples at the freezing and melting points of silver. The experiments are carried out with 5 thermocouples, 2 from Johnson, Matthey & Co. Ltd. and 3 from Baker Industries Ltd. Using appropriate techniques the plateaus, with a duration varying from 30 minutes to 45 minutes depending on the rate of freezing and melting, remain constant to within +/-0.7MV (+/-0.007
