“…During the creation of the ITS-90, care was taken to optimize the thermodynamic accuracy [3] and reproducibility [4] of the scale, but these efforts were less successful than anticipated, leaving significant scope for improvement in a potential successor scale [5]. Assessment of the thermodynamic accuracy of the ITS-90 and proposals for its improvement have been discussed elsewhere [5][6][7][8], so the present study is focused on scale reproducibility.…”

“…In principle, a new reference function could take any form. However, Hill & Steele recognized that from an engineering perspective, the simplest substantial change that could be made to ITS-90 is to improve thermodynamic accuracy by changing the values of the constants defining the reference function, W r (T 90 ), without changing its functional form [76,77]. Such a change might have a minor effect on software in commercial instrumentation, perhaps only affecting tables of constants, and may be less disruptive than changes to the underlying mathematical of the reference function.…”

“…the potential influence on the overall data set of unmodelled systematic effects intrinsic to any one primary thermometry method. The fruits of this effort may enable the formulation of a new scale with much better thermodynamic accuracy than ITS-90 [15,16], while simultaneously advancing technical development of modern primary thermometry techniques to facilitate direct dissemination of T [17] according to the new definition of the kelvin [18][19][20].…”
