Howard W. Yoon, David W. Allen, Charles E. Gibson, Robert D. Saunders, Bettye C. Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke
In the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90), temperatures above the freezing temperature of silver are defined with radiation thermometers calibrated using spectral radiance ratios to one of the silver-, gold- or copper-freezing temperature

Comparison of Cryogenic Radiometry and Thermal Radiometry Calibrations at NIST Using Multichannel Filter Raidometers

Bettye C. Johnson, Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke, Charles E. Gibson, G Fargion, G Meister, S B. Hooker, B L. Markham, James J. Butler
Comparison of independent measurement results allows an assessment of the accuracy of the underlying methods. In this work, four multichannel filter radiometers were calibrated using tunable laser-illuminated and lamp-illuminated integrating sphere sources

A Comparison of ITS-90, Above the Silver Point, as Realised by NIST and NPL

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Graham Machin, Charles E. Gibson, B. Carol Johnson, Howard Yoon
A comparison of the radiance temperature scales between 1000 C and 2700 C has been performed between the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Two transfer radiation thermometers, of identical

Second Intercomparision of Radiation Temperature Scales Among Four National Metrological Laboratories Using a Transfer Standard Radiation Thermometer

January 1, 2000
