โฆ Synopsis
A sealed gas thermometer with a pressure sensor attached has been developed and its interpolating characteristics have been studied. It was calibrated at three temperatures and a temperature scale was derived by quadratic interpolation, as is specified in ITS-90. This was compared with an established temperature scale, NPL75, between 5 and 24 K. The accuracy of the interpolation is found to be of the order of 1 mK between 5 and 14 K and 3 mK between 14 and 24 K. The systematic errors of the sealed gas thermometer are estimated and an assessment of the design is given.

Calculations are presented for a constant-volume gas thermometer used as an interpolating instrument between fixed points in the range 3.2-25 K and using He-3 as a working gas. In addition to the accuracy of the fixed point realizations, it is shown to limit the additional interpolation uncertainty
