Investigation of ITS-90 Inconsistencies in Overlap Region of the Water-indium, Water-tin, and Water-zinc Sub-ranges

One of the significant uncertainties in Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) calibration by fixed-points method is Type I non-uniqueness (sub-range inconsistencies). Sub-ranges water-tin ( W 9 ) and water-indium ( W 10 ) lies in the water-zinc ( W 8 ) sub-range of the International Temper...

Description
Summary:One of the significant uncertainties in Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer (SPRT) calibration by fixed-points method is Type I non-uniqueness (sub-range inconsistencies). Sub-ranges water-tin ( W 9 ) and water-indium ( W 10 ) lies in the water-zinc ( W 8 ) sub-range of the International Temperature Scale of 1990. Therefore, three sub-range inconsistencies [ W 8 and W 9 ( SRI 8 – 9 ), W 8 and W 10 ( SRI 8 – 10 ), and W 9 and W 10 ( SRI 9 – 10 )] occur. This paper investigated these inconsistencies using the calibration data of 12 SPRTs from six manufacturers. The result shows that the magnitude of the inconsistency for SRI 8 – 9 , SRI 8 – 10 , and SRI 9 – 10 are about 2.5, 2.2 and 1.8 mK, respectively.
