Temperature Area
Underpinning NPL's research, calibration and training activities is a wealth of experience in laboratory standards and industrial implementation. Some of the background to the work in temperature metrology is captured here:
- The international temperature scale of 1990
- Towards a new definition of the Kelvin
- Science of eutectic fixed-points
- Primary acoustic thermometry
- Thermocouples for high temperature industrial measurements
- High temperature research
- Temperature fixed points (of the International Temperature Scale of 1990: ITS-90)
The flyers available at present, with details of NPL's temperature services, are:
Discussion Group
NPL has also set up the dedicated LinkedIn discussion group Thermocouples in Industry (UK)
