Thermometry
The Thermometry Group provides Canadian science and industry with traceability
to the SI unit of temperature, the kelvin (K). It does this by implementing
primary standards based on the definition of the International
Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90), and by offering a calibration
service which is linked to the primary standards.
These core activities set the direction of the research programs, which
include the realization of primary fixed points, studies of the effects
that limit the accuracies of the realizations and measurement instrumentation,
and improvements in the scale itself.
