Ultra-stable Maintenance Bath for Water Triple Point Cells
The ultra-stable bath for maintaining Triple Point of Water cells is a state-of-the-art metrological device of exceptional performance. Thanks to homogeneity and stability in the mK range, the cells can be held and operated stably at the triple point.
Our maintenance bath enables the long-term use of water triple point cells and thus highly precise calibrations of temperature measuring instruments.
Features:
- Unique “Vertical flow design (VFD)”
- Uniformity and stability in the mK range
- Fluid ensures perfect heat transfer
- 500mm immersion depth
- Cycling function

The Triple Point of Water
In thermodynamics, the triple point of a substance is present at a defined combination of temperature and pressure. Here, the solid, liquid and gas phases exist in thermodynamic equilibrium. In other words... the only point where all three phases (solid, liquid and vapor) can be in equilibrium is the triple point.Our Triple Point of Water maintenance baths are high precision devices that can maintain a stable temperature at the triple point of water. With these maintenance baths you can operate up to four water triple point cells.
By international agreement, the triple point of water is determined as 0.01 °C at a partial vapor pressure of 6.1166 mbar. At that point it is possible to turn all substance into steam, water or ice by making infinitesimal changes in pressure and temperature. Even if the total pressure is well above the triple point of water, the system can still be brought to the triple point of water, provided that the partial pressure of the water vapor is 6.1166 mbar.
