We describe how a simple two-point calibration of a platinum resistance thermometer can be used to deduce the resistance-temperature relationship in the range 4.2 K ~ T <~ 273 K. This relationship is established by comparing the unknown thermometer to two carefully calibrated platinum resistance the

✦ Synopsis
Thermometric properties of TESLA -KA 136 silicon diodes as temperature sensors in the range 1.5 -380 K are presented. Special attention is paid to the stability of these sensors which was examined for 30 diodes. This stability has been verified both dynamically using a method of cycling the diodes from room temperature to the temperature of liquid helium 100 times and statically using a method of storing the diodes at room temperature for 1 and 2 year periods. It has been found that moe than 90% of the diodes considered have a stability better than 0.4 K and 0.3 K at temperatures 4.2 K and 273 K, respectively, after 30 cycles and 12 months storage.
