Abstract

One of a set of metal-carbon eutectic cells (a Pd-C cell) manufactured by NPL and used for a previous comparison of temperature scales with NIST has been investigated at INRIM. There it was implemented in two different furnaces, namely a single- and a three-zone, and measured with a standard radiation thermometer at 900 nm and 950 nm. Both ITS-90 and thermodynamic melting temperatures of the cell were determined through an extrapolation approach. The thermodynamic temperature agrees to within 0.31 K with the NIST determination, and the ITS-90 temperature is in agreement within 0.40 K with the NPL determination. The agreements, well within the combined uncertainties, are particularly significant, because of the different approach followed at INRIM, namely the extrapolation of multi fixed-points scales, as compared to a direct radiometric method at NIST and an ITS-90 realisation traceable to the gold point at NPL.
