Q

Constant-Volume Gas Thermometer operation

A

Allow gas and system to reach thermal
equilibrium, Adjust height of mercury reservoir to

Q

Calibration of the CV Gas Thermometer

A

The triple-point of pure water gives a very reproducible temperature reference, Error bounds of +0.0μK/ –150μK are achievable. This allows determination of the calibration constant a for a CV gas
thermometer. For low pressures results become independent of the gas used.
