Typical and aimed uncertainty budget for cryogenic fixed point measurements [3].

# Item Typical 1975‑2000 (μK) Available in 2006 (μK) Aimed in future (μK)
1 Non-isotopic impurities 50 ⇒ 20004 40 10
2 Isotopic composition Up to 7005 306 20
3 Induced by Rcs 50–200 30 10
4 Induced by τ <100 20 10
5 Cryostat other effects1 20–300 10 10
6 Resistance measurement2 30–200 30 107
7 Ttp definition3 20–300 20 0
  Total 150–1000 70 30

Legend: Rcs = static thermal resistance; τ = cell dynamic time constant; Ttp = triple point temperature.

1 For meltings lasting less than ≈12 h. 2 Except with e-H2 when measuring a CSPRT. 3 For ΔTmelt(20–80%) < ≈0.1 mK.  4 For Ar in O2 or HD in D2. 5 For D in H. 6 For the best assay uncertainty only. 7 Equivalent to ≈1 μΩ for a SPRT above 40 K.
