Abstract

In 2011, a working group of the Consultative Committee for Thermometry published best estimates of the differences between thermodynamic temperature (T) and the International Temperature Scale ITS 90 (T90). But for temperatures below 335 K, it was stated that for the range from 35 K to 77 K, the available literature data do not allow to get estimates of sufficiently low uncertainty. In the meantime, the situation has improved essentially because of the primary-thermometry activities of different metrological institutes. This allows now to publish estimates, the uncertainty has been reduced up to one order of magnitude (at 70 K from formerly 1.9 mK to 0.18 mK). For comparison purposes, the updated estimates are given at the same temperatures as in the 2011 paper. Furthermore, an analytic function for the dependence of (T T90) on temperature T90 (power series of order 12) has been deduced by fitting the carefully selected data applying two different algorithms for checking purposes. This analytic function allows easy access to thermodynamic temperature values via the ITS 90, which is of great importance for practical purposes.
