National
Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Thermometry Group. |
|
Audience:
|
The
workshop is intended for calibration laboratory personnel who are
familiar with using SPRTs and/or have taken the NIST Precision Thermometry
Workshop. |
|
Format:
|
Laboratory
(85%) and lecture (15%) - max. of 4 participants. |
|
Purpose:
|
To
provide intensive "hands-on" laboratory training in the
realization of ITS-90 fixed-point cells and the calibration of standard
platinum resistance thermometers (SPRTs). Additionally, part of
the course will focus on the development of uncertainty statements
for the fixed-point cells and subsequently SPRT calibrations. |
|
Topics:
|
How
to calibrate SPRTs using the ITS-90 fixed-point cells of the water
triple point, gallium melting point, tin freezing point, mercury
triple-point, and the zinc freezing-point. How to determine the
realization uncertainty of your ITS-90 fixed-point cells. A round-table
discussion will be held at the end of the workshop to address any
individual concerns. |
