Matthiessen’S Rule

In a recent paper on deviations from Matthiessen's rule for platinum Klemens and Lowenthal (1961) classified the deviation patterns, calculated for a number of different platinum resistance thermometers, into three groups, and reported that only one of these groups followed the pattern predicted by Sondheimer and Wilson's (1947) two-band conduction theory. They suggested that if resistors belonging to one particular group (though no matter which group) were selected for use in low temperature platinum resistance thermometry then the resistance-temperature relationship could be expressed accurately by a relatively simple formula. We believe that Klemens and Lowenthal's method of classifying the resistors into groups is open to serious objection and that consequently some of their important conclusions are not necessarily valid.

Resistance Thermometry

The International Practical Temperature Scale has been redefined recently. It follows that the interpolating equations relating platinum resistance to temperature must be reevaluated for all platinum resistance thermometers which are used as standards for calibration work. After a brief review of the former calibration procedure, the new temperature scale is discussed as it affects resistance thermometry in the temperature range from 0 C to 630.74 C. An example based on new experimental data is given to illustrate the method of determining thermometer constants for the new scale, and to indicate the magnitude of the changes required.

Low Temperature Calorimetry

A set of six platinum resistance thermometers of a form suitable for low temperature calorimetry has been made and calibrated in the region 11° to 90°K. by intercomparison with a similar thermometer which had been calibrated at the National Bureau of Standards. Above 90°K. calibration has been made on the International Temperature Scale.Using the intercomparison data, it has been possible to derive a method whereby for these thermometers the scale for the region 20° to 90°K. may be found to within 0.002°C. by means of fixed points. The method applies a 'Z function' of the type used at the National Bureau of Standards (13), plus a corrective term which depends upon the resistance of the thermometer at the boiling point of hydrogen and upon the normal constants which are determined for the International Temperature Scale above 90°K.
