Within the frame of the EUROMET project 732, LNE have shared its activity in two parts : • LNE-INM (Saint-Denis) realizes new cells and take in consideration the effects of impurities • LNE-CMSI (Trappes is concerned with the thermal environment set up to realize the fixed point. • The present paper deals uniquely with the point 2
Component of uncertainty linked with heat exchanges with the surrounding can be large
In association with a permanent heating process, a customary metal temperature fixed point is designed for : • Maintaining an enclosure at a stable temperature • Realizing uniform temperature enclosure • Affecting a known temperature value

Materialization of a temperature fixed point • Freezing /melting and permanent heating • Both freezing and melting are a function of time • Effect of impurities • Thermal effects • Phase transition observed through calorimetric process • The result is, in principle, independent of time

In summary: • The principle of using the calorimetric method at any metal fixed point is established. • The actual design has to be improved in order to get a final design. • The final design must be easy to use. • Using calorimetric method induces a better definition of a fixed point temperature.
