Abstract

This study describes the temperature and heat flow rate calibrations of a Calvet calorimeter (SETARAM, BT2.15) in the temperature range of 0–190 \({^{\circ }}\hbox {C}\). Temperature calibration is carried out using three reference materials, namely water, gallium, and indium, as specified in the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90). The sample temperature of the Calvet calorimeter is corrected by the obtained mean value, \(-0.489 \,{^{\circ }}\hbox {C}\), of the measured extrapolated peak onset temperature (\(T_{e})\) when the heating rate (\(\upbeta )\) is zero (\(\Delta T_\mathrm{corr }(\upbeta ~=~0\))). The heat flow rate is calibrated using a reference material with a known heat capacity, namely SRM 720 \(\alpha \)-\(\hbox {Al}_{2}\hbox {O}_{3}\) (synthetic sapphire), which is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. From the heat flow rate measurements of the blank baseline and SRM 720, the proportional calibration factor, \(\hbox {K}_{\Phi }\), in the 0–190\( \,{^{\circ }}\hbox {C}\) temperature range was determined. The specific heat capacity of copper was measured with the obtained calibration values, and the measured data show consistency with the reference value.
