Towards implementing the new kelvin

Implementing the new Kelvin (SIB01 Ink) will improve primary thermometry and assign definitive thermodynamic temperatures to a set of high temperature fixed points, allowing extreme temperature measurements to be linked to a direct realisation of the kelvin.

The Royal Society will hold a Scientific Discussion meeting based on the research performed in the InK JRP.

This meeting is for anyone interested in the SI unit redefinitions, primary thermometry and the future of accurate temperature measurement. Discussion topics will include the redefinition of the kelvin through a defined value of kB, new primary thermometry results from 0.0009 to 3000+K, the mise-en-pratique for the definition of the kelvin and the possible new temperature scale (mid-2020s).
