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.
ACCESSORIES & INTEGRATIONFROM CRYOGEN TO SAMPLE
Sample holders & contacts
Exchangeable sample holders support optical and electrical measurements. Modular KONTI Micro setups can add movable needle contacts and precise sample positioning to suit the experiment.
We are a precision manufacturer. A high-tech company.
You bring the question. We bring the cryogenics. From design and manufacturing to testing, your system takes shape at our facility in Troisdorf, in close collaboration with you.
