SRM 1970: Succinonitrile Triple-Point Standard-A Temperature Reference Standard Near 58.08 °C
1National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
Abstract:
Triple-point-of-succinonitrile cells have been tested and established as Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1970. Of the 115 cells tested, 109 were accepted as SRM 1970. Five of the 115 cells had triple-point temperatures lower than 58.0785 °C (the low-temperature limit established for SRM 1970) and, consequently, were rejected. One of the 115 cells broke during tests on it. The mean value of the triple-point temperatures (obtained by freezing) of the 109 cells is 58.0796±0.0015 °C, where the uncertainty is the total estimated uncertainty relative to the International Practical Temperature Scale of 1968, Amended Edition of 1975. The standard deviation of the triple-point temperatures is 0.48 mK. The purity of the succinonitrile of the SRM 1970 cells is estimated to range from 99.999,97% to 99.999,84%. The preparation of the cells, the various tests performed on them, and the procedure recommended for their use are described.
