Abstract

An intercomparison of the melting temperatures of four Co-C eutectic fixed-point cells by using two Pt/Pd thermocouples was performed. The cells are usable for the calibration of thermocouples and were constructed in the participating laboratories of PTB, NPL, LNE and NMIJ/AIST. The measurements were performed in four different high-temperature furnaces but by applying the same measurement procedure. In spite of slightly different cell designs the melting temperatures of the investigated Co-C eutectic fixed-point cells agree very well within their expanded uncertainties of k = 2. The maximum differences of the realization of the melting temperatures of a particular cell in different laboratories by using different furnaces were found to be of the order of 85 mK (2 µV).
