✦ Synopsis

The National Measurement Laboratory in Sydney was opened in 1940 and its first helium liquefier began to operate in 1950. Since then it has had an active research programme at low temperatures on properties of matter including heat conduction and other transport properties, thermal expansion, calorimetry, magnetic susceptibility, and far infrared spectroscopy. Cryogenics has also become an essential part of programmes in thermometry and electric metrology.
