The nominal boiling point of nitrogen is –196°C at one atmosphere of pressure. The defining triple point of argon is –189.3442°C. While there is a difference between the nominal boiling point of nitrogen and the argon triple point, the difference can be corrected for mathematically, and an uncertainty of less than 2 mK from the actual argon triple point is achievable.
 
Fluke Calibration's LN2 Comparison Calibrators consist of a vacuum-sealed stainless steel Dewar Flask, a high-purity copper block, and a precision-fit lid. The dewar is filled with LN2 and the copper block is suspended in it; an SPRT is inserted into the block and a calibration is performed against your own calibrated SPRT. The 7196B-4 includes four 8-mm (0.32") wells. The 7196B-13 includes five 8-mm (0.32") wells and eight 6.35-mm (0.25") wells.

• Low-cost calibrations to –196°C
• Simple to use
• Uncertainty less than 2 mK

TemperatureNominal -196°C depending on atmospheric pressure
Thermal Wells7196B-4: four 8 mm (0.32") I.D. wells
7196B-13: five 8 mm (0.32") I.D. wells, eight 6.35 mm (0.25") I.D. wells
Both blocks: 275 mm immersion from top of lid to bottom of well, 150 mm immersion into copper block
Dimensions (Outer Diameter x Height)168 mm x 406 mm (6.6 in O.D. x 16 in)
Temperature StabilityTypically better than 2 mK/20 min[1]
