Abstract
A new design of the fixed-point cell that contains multiple metal elements in a single crucible has been introduced for fixed-point calibration of secondary thermometers such as thermocouples. A multicell with aluminium, silver and copper was fabricated and used for the calibration of a Pt/Pd thermocouple. The expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of the realization of the multicell were 0.07 °C, 0.12 °C and 0.24 °C, plus an additional term from the inhomogeneity of the thermocouple, for aluminium, silver and copper, respectively. These uncertainties are considerably smaller than those obtained from the method of calibration by comparison in similar temperature ranges. This proves the suitability of the metal multicells for the calibration of secondary thermometers.
