DRY 1 K TOP LOADER

Change the sample.
Keep the system cold.

The Dry 1 K Top Loader brings optical access and a built-in optical bench to a dry cryostat. Exchange samples while the system stays cold, with optional superconducting magnets for your experiment.

Calibration & metrologyPTB / DCVGT II

PTB / CALIBRATION & METROLOGY

Cryogenics for temperature metrology.

The PTB calibration cryostat is an individual configuration with an integrated DCVGT-II insert. Primary thermometry, temperature scales and the properties of measurement gases provide the scientific context.

Applications in the research field

Primary thermometry

DCGT relates the pressure-dependent capacitance change of a gas-filled capacitor to thermodynamic temperature.

Temperature scales and calibration

PTB uses gas and vapour-pressure thermometry, fixed points and resistance thermometers to realise and disseminate ITS-90.

Properties of measurement gases

Noble-gas polarizabilities support the development of pressure and temperature standards.

Publications / Research context

  • Original PTB research on a thermodynamic temperature scale and its comparison with ITS-90.

  • A scientific review of dielectric-constant gas thermometry (DCGT).

  • PTB research on noble-gas polarizabilities supporting pressure and temperature standards.

The publications describe the research context. Their measurement ranges and uncertainties are not specifications of this individual cryostat configuration.
