Abstract
Miniature Ga and Ga–In alloy fixed points as temperature standards are developed at National Institute of Metrology, China for the in situ calibration of temperature sensors. A quasi-adiabatic vacuum measurement system is constructed to study the phase-change plateaus of the fixed points. The system comprises a high-stability bath, a quasi-adiabatic vacuum chamber and a temperature control and measurement system. The melting plateau of the Ga fixed point is longer than 2 h at 0.008 W. The standard deviation of the melting temperature of the Ga and Ga–In alloy fixed points is better than 2 mK. The results suggest that the melting temperature of the Ga or Ga–In alloy fixed points is linearly related with the heating power.
