Abstract

The effect of trace cobalt impurity on the realisation of a high purity (99.9999%) tin fixed-point is presented. The aim is to improve the measurement of the temperature shift caused by low level impurity dopants, to test the interpolation of previous binary alloy systems [1] obtained using relatively high levels of impurities. The experiments and results, described below, revealed the shift of the melting and freezing curves of an initially 'pure' tin cell by -0.71 mK/ppmw of cobalt, and confirmed the reproducibility of the temperature measurements in this fixed-point cell.
