FORTRAN PROGRAMS FOR CRYOGENIC THERMOMETRY.

Abstract

Three FORTRAN language computer programs designed to analyze data for calibration of salt pill and resistance thermometers below 4.390K are described. The first calibrates a secondary paramagnetic salt pill thermometer using helium vapor pressure to determine the temperature. The second program calculates a secondary resistance thermometer using both the vapor pressure of helium and the mutual inductance of a previously calibrated salt pill as standards. Following calibration, an analytic function giving temperature in terms of resistance is produced using the technique of least squares curve fitting. The third program is like the second, except that the analytic function is not determined. (Author)
