A set of six platinum resistance thermometers of a form suitable for low temperature calorimetry has been made and calibrated in the region 11° to 90°K. by intercomparison with a similar thermometer which had been calibrated at the National Bureau of Standards. Above 90°K. calibration has been made on the International Temperature Scale.Using the intercomparison data, it has been possible to derive a method whereby for these thermometers the scale for the region 20° to 90°K. may be found to within 0.002°C. by means of fixed points. The method applies a 'Z function' of the type used at the National Bureau of Standards (13), plus a corrective term which depends upon the resistance of the thermometer at the boiling point of hydrogen and upon the normal constants which are determined for the International Temperature Scale above 90°K.

The techniques and difficulties encountered in measuring temperatures to the highest precision with platinum resistance thermometers are discussed. It is shown that the relative drift of the resistance coils in the Mueller resistance bridge used for these measurements is less than a part per million per year. The intrinsic resistance of a platinum thermometer is comparatively unstable, and results showing some effects of cold work and heat treatment on several thermometers are given.As each precision temperature determination involves the resistance of the thermometer at the triple point of water, extensive measurements have been carried out to obtain information on: (a) the reproducibility of temperature in particular cells, (b) the variation in temperature among cells, and (c) the long term stability of cell temperatures.The limiting uncertainties in temperature measurements due to variation in the bridge, the thermometers, and the triple point cells are each of the order of 10−4 °C.

In a recent paper on deviations from Matthiessen's rule for platinum Klemens and Lowenthal (1961) classified the deviation patterns, calculated for a number of different platinum resistance thermometers, into three groups, and reported that only one of these groups followed the pattern predicted by Sondheimer and Wilson's (1947) two-band conduction theory. They suggested that if resistors belonging to one particular group (though no matter which group) were selected for use in low temperature platinum resistance thermometry then the resistance-temperature relationship could be expressed accurately by a relatively simple formula. We believe that Klemens and Lowenthal's method of classifying the resistors into groups is open to serious objection and that consequently some of their important conclusions are not necessarily valid.

The heating effect of normal laboratory illumination on the sensors of standard platinum resistance thermometers immersed in a standard water triple-point cell packed in crushed ice has been investigated. This study shows that the absorption by the platinum sensors of luminous and near-infrared radiation transmitted through the ice pack could easily amount to temperature errors as large as 0.000 5 °C. Any illumination error must be eliminated by making all measurements in the dark or under adequate radiation shielding.
