Abstract
A high temperature, solid-electrolyte, oxygen-concentration cell is proposed as a means for determination of high fixed-point temperatures, such as the melting points of silver, gold and palladium, on the thermodynamic scale. An analysis of possible sources of errors in gold-point determinations indicates that the method is potentially comparable in accuracy to high temperature gas thermometry. Preliminary experiments gave results within a few degrees of the accepted values for the silver and gold points. It is believed that more refined measurements can be of considerable value as independent checks on important elevated fixed-point temperatures.
