Multi-fixed-point continuous reproduction device and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of thermal measurement, and relates to a multi-fixed-point continuous reproduction device and method.
Background
The pure metal temperature fixed point is a temperature reference fixed point specified in an ITS-90 temperature scale, and is used for calibrating or calibrating a high-precision temperature sensor, such as a standard platinum resistor/thermocouple, a precision platinum resistor and the like due to the advantages of good repeatability, good long-term stability and the like. The temperature fixed point container is generally a crucible made of high-purity graphite material, and high-purity metal is sealed in the crucible. When the metal temperature is reproduced, a calibrated temperature sensor is inserted into a measuring cavity of a crucible, the temperature sensor is heated to be slightly higher than the melting point temperature of the metal by using a reproduction furnace to be melted, the temperature is reduced to be slightly lower than the solidification temperature of the metal after the temperature sensor is completely melted to be solidified, and the temperature in the solidification process is kept unchanged, so that the temperature is called a solidification temperature plateau, and the temperature plateau is the solidification temperature point of the metal. In addition to gallium points, other metallic fixation points generally measure the solidification plateau. Currently, the metallic fixation points (also called solidification points) specified by ITS-90 temperature scale mainly include: indium (In) freezing point (156.5985 ℃), tin (Sn) freezing point (231.928 ℃), zinc (Zn) freezing point (419.527 ℃), aluminum (Al) freezing point (660.323 ℃), silver (Ag) freezing point (961.78 ℃), gold (Au) freezing point (1064.18 ℃), copper (Cu) freezing point (1084.62 ℃), and the like.
According to the traditional metal fixed point reproduction device and method, only one crucible is placed in each heating furnace, and only one metal can be poured into the crucible, so that only one temperature point can be reproduced in each test, and the working efficiency is low. In order to improve the working efficiency, a plurality of reproduction furnaces are generally used at the same time, and each furnace is provided with a metal fixing point in a reproduction mode, so that the cost is high, and a plurality of devices are inconvenient to carry in the scene of on-site metering guarantee and the like.
