TL;DR
This paper presents a new automatic pressure control system for a cryostat used to measure the triple point of argon with high precision.
Contribution
A novel automatic pressure control system for cryostats is developed and validated for use in low-temperature metrology.
Findings
The automatic pressure controller was successfully tested for precise pressure regulation in the cryostat.
Bilateral comparison results showed deviations within the combined uncertainty for resistance ratio measurements.
The setup was validated for use in realizing the International Temperature Scale (ITS-90).
Abstract
This paper describes the development and validation of an apparatus for the realization of the triple point of argon (83.8058 K), with a novel automatic pressure control system for the liquid nitrogen cryostat. The automatic pressure controller, together with custom-made software, was developed and tested in the Laboratory for Process Measurement at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb (FSB-LPM). Performance testing and characterization of the automatic pressure controller confirmed its suitability for precise and reliable control of gauge pressure in the cryostat. The characteristics and uncertainty of the measurement setup for the realization of the triple point of argon were validated through a bilateral hybrid comparison with the Laboratory of Metrology and Quality at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana…
