Popis:	Calibration procedures are developed for platinum resistance thermometers in the temperature range 2.5–14 K. Two recommended methods require calibration points at the boiling point of liquid helium (4.215 K) and the triple point of hydrogen (13.81 K); in addition, the first method requires a point at 7.201 K while the second method requires the slope of the calibration curve at 13.81 K. For temperatures from 3.5 to 14 K, the calibrations are accurate to within 0.01 K for the first method and 0.025 K for the second method. For temperatures from 2.5 to 3.5 K, the calibrations are somewhat less accurate. Therefore, if a thermometer has been calibrated for temperatures of 13.81 K and above, its calibration may be easily extended to lower temperatures with sufficient accuracy for many applications. These calibration procedures were developed from two‐way structural analysis of the accurate calibrations of 12 platinum resistance thermometers.
