We devised calibration procedure for industrial thermometers by a comparison method at the boiling point of nitrogen (${\sim}-196^{\circ}C$). The uncertainty of the calibration was 4 mK (k = 2). As experimentally demonstrated in this work, the effect of the atmospheric pressure on the boiling point of nitrogen can be easily detected by the thermometer. Therefore, when the boiling point of nitrogen is used for calibration of thermometer by comparison, either a reference thermometer must be used to provide the reference temperature or the effect of atmospheric pressure should be carefully considered. The use of a copper block with a large thermal mass soaked into the liquid nitrogen was proven to be more reliable, and the stability of the temperature immersed into the copper block was 1.4 mK. The temperatures at the thermometer wells, evaluated by the crossed-measurement method to compensate for the inaccuracy of the thermometers and the linear drift of the temperature of the copper block, were equivalent within 0.23 mK of standard uncertainty.

This paper proposes methodologies for the development of radiation thermometer using InSb photo-detector of which spectral sensitivity is excellent over the wave length range of 2 .mu. m .approx. 5 .mu. m. The proposed radiation thermometer has broad measurement range from normal to high, up to more than 1000 .deg. C, with high accuracy, and can measure temperature on the material surface or heat emission noncontactely with high speed. Optical system was consisted of two convex lens with foruslength of 15.2mm for infrared lay focusing, Ge filter to cut the short wave length components and sapphire filter to cut the long wave length components. The cold shielded was installed in the whole surface of the light-absorbing element to remove the error- mometer, calibration using black body furnace which has temperature range of 90 .deg. C .approx. 1100 .deg. C was carried out, and temperature calaibration curve was obtained by exponential function curvefitting. The result shows maximum error less than 0.24%(640K .+-. 1.6K) over the measurement range of 90 .deg. C .approx. 700 .deg. C, and from this result the usefulness of the developed thermometer has been confirmed.

Calibration capability was evaluated using the reference-grade platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) in the temperature range of $-50^{\circ}C$ to $250^{\circ}C$ for the national calibration centers. The reference-grade PRT was calibrated at the several fixed points, which was composed by the freezing points of Sn, In, the melting point of Ga and the triple point of water and Hg, before and after the round-robin test (RRT) experiments. The temperature scale of reference-grade PRT was compared to the local standard PRT's using the system of the national calibration centers. $E_{n}$ values was calculated by the temperature difference between the reference-grade PRT and the local standard PRT, and the best measurement capability. Finally, the capability of the national calibration centers was evaluated by the $E_{n}$ values.

Calibration capabilities for thermometer calibration by comparison method were assessed using high-precision industrial platinum resistance thermometers (IPRT). It was found in the performance assessment that out of 31 laboratories who participated, 28 laboratories resulted magnitude of En number less than 1 at every calibration points they submitted results in the range from 50 to $500^{\circ}C$. The results of about 75% of the laboratories showed the difference from the assigned values less than 1/10 of the tolerance level of the class B IPRT. This indicates that the participating calibration laboratories performed with satisfactory level that was enough to calibrate IPRTs to significant precision. The sensors used in this work were manufactured and chosen by the criteria of long-term instability less than 4 mK and hysteresis less than 8 mK in the temperature range used in this work. Furthermore, the change in the resistance of the sensors in the calibration temperature range were less than the uncertainty of the calibration, 25 mK (k=2).

$0^{\circ}C$ 이하 적외선 복사온도계의 복사온도눈금 교정을 위해 기준 복사온도계 TRT2 (Transfer Radiation Thermometer 2, HEITRONICS)와 온도가변 흑체 ME30 (Model: ME30, HEITRONICS)을 사용하여 비교 교정장치를 구축하였다. 3개의 고정점(Ice ($0.01^{\circ}C$), In ($156.5985^{\circ}C$), Sn ($231.928^{\circ}C$))과 플랑크형 사쿠마-하토리식을 사용하고, $-50^{\circ}C$에서 TRT2의 내외삽 오차를 불확도에 포함시켜 TRT2의 복사온도 눈금을 교정하였다. ME30 흑체 개구에 공압으로 동작되는 뚜껑을 설치한 후 30초 동안만 뚜껑을 열고 복사온도를 측정함으로써 ME30 내에서 생기는 성에를 방지할 수 있었으며 비교 교정에 소요되는 시간도 반으로 줄일 수 있었다. $0{\sim}232^{\circ}C$ 영역 밖으로 벗어날수록 비교 교정장치의 불확도는 증가하며 $-20^{\circ}C$에서 확장 불확도는 0.26 K였다.

We propose an improved interpolating equation to express temperature-resistance characteristics for modern industrial platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs). Callendar-van Dusen equation which has been widely used for platinum resistance thermometer fails to fully describe temperature characteristics of high quality PRTs and leaves systematic residual when the calibration point include temperatures above $300^{\circ}C$. Expanding Callendar-van Dusen to higher-order polynomial drastically improves the uncertainty of the fitting even with reduced degrees of freedom of the fitting. We found that in the fourth-order polynomial fitting, the third-order and fourth-order coefficients have a strong correlation. Using the correlation, we suggest an improved interpolating equation in the form of fourth-order polynomial, but with three fitting parameters. Applying this interpolating equation reduced the uncertainty of the fitting to 32 % of that resulted from the traditional Callendar-van Dusen. This improvement was better than that from a simple third-order polynomial despite that the degrees of the freedom of the fitting was the same.

We devised a method to control the temperature of a liquid bath as low as $-100^{\circ}C$ using the duty cycle control of a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve controls the flow of liquid nitrogen that we used as a cryogen in this system. By controlling the duty cycle of a solenoid valve using feedback from the measured temperature of the liquid bath, we were able to achieve temperature stability within ${\pm}19mK$ around $-100^{\circ}C$. We also demonstrated that by taking average values of the temperature readings for sequence of measurements from more than one thermometer, it is possible to use this system for the calibration of thermometers within 3 mK. This system and the control method can be used for the precise temperature control in the range between $0^{\circ}C$ and $-100^{\circ}C$, where commercially available precision baths are much expensive and hard to be built in customized configurations.

The study in the fild of medical instrument has been out of the interest by any of the life scientist in Korea. Especially, the recent developments in the medical electromics are remarkable one. Authors planned this study to ascertain the possibility of setting up the thermister thermometer with available accessories of demestic prouducts including some specific foreign assembly parts. By proper use of the thermister as one of the wheatstone bridge, we could detect tile resistance variations due to the environmental temperature variace. The intensive care for the bridge circuit and compensation scheme was required. The calibration procedure adopted here makes it possible to read the current as the temperature. The temperature range was determined by the examination and construction of the graph of the resistance-temperature variation. The determination of electric current, available ambient-temperature, the reduction of excessive current and self-heating of the thermister were made. Renovation in response-velocity was under taken too. This electronic thermometer was designed and assembled by the circuitry developed in accordance with the maximum availability of domestic products with some foreign-made parts. The result of our experiment showed very stable function and proved to be the most promissing item in the actual application as long as the thermistor thermister is concerned.

치료장비의 정확한 정도관리를 위해서는 선량측정기의 주기적 교정이 중요하다. 국내 방사선종양학과에서 사용하는 교정대상 측정기는 이온전리함, 온도계, 기압계 및 서베이미터 등이 있다. 현재 국내 교정기관에서 권고하고 있는 교정 유효 기간은 6개월에서 1년이나 최근 제조사 및 외국 교정기관에서는 2년의 유효기간을 제시하고 있다. 따라서 측정기의 특성에 따른 가장 합리적인 교정주기의 설정이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 ILAC-G24 지침서(2) 등을 기반으로 국내 방사선종양학과에서 사용하는 측정기들의 최적의 교정주기를 설정하기 위한 기초단계로 불확도, 측정기의 사용 빈도, 사용 방법, 장비의 안정도 등을 조사하여 향후 측정장비의 적절한 유효 기간 도출의 기본 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 조사 방법은 온라인 설문조사도구인 SurveyMonkey를 이용하였으며 조상대상은 전국의 18개의 대학병원으로 이중 15개 기관에서 응답하였다. 설문조사 질의 내용은 작성자 정보, 온도계, 기압계, 서베이미터, 기준이온전리함, 소조사면 측정장비 및 근접치료용 우물형 전리함으로 구성하였고 총 64문항으로 모두 응답시 약 50분간의 시간이 소요된다. 조사대상의 과반수 기관에서 온도계와 기압계의 교정을 실시하지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면 서베이미터는 6개월에서 1년 정도로 교정주기가 비교적 짧았다. 본 조사를 바탕으로 측정장치별 최적의 교정주기를 결정할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, the authors have developed a new material test system fur thin film at the high temperature. It is so compact and precise with sub micron resolution that it seems to be a useful tool fur research of the oxide film growth, its mechanical behavior and failure mechanism. To this end. in this paper three methologies are described for in-situ monitoring of the displacement & strain and the temperature, the oxide thickness. These are the Laser Speckle analysis with digital image correlation technique, the two-color infra-red thermometer and the laser reflection interferometry respectively. The calibration results and some issues which should be addressed for practical application are presented.
