Abstract

A zinc fixed-point open cell (419.527 °C) was manufactured by the Thermal Metrology Division of Inmetro for the realisation of the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90). This paper presents the fixed-point cell design, fabrication method, results of the cell evaluation and the estimated uncertainty assigned to the temperature of the cell.
