At the triple point [0.01 °C], all three phases can coexist.
Water critical point : However, the liquid-vapor boundary
terminates in an endpoint at some critical temperature Tc and
critical pressure pc. This is the critical point.
In water, the critical point occurs at around
647 K (374 °C ) and 22.064 MPa (3200 psia or 218 atm)

I'm not aware of industrial process in the sub-cryogenic of Pt 100 [13.8 °K, -259.3467 °C] .
To meet the demand starting ~ 1 °K, @ best accuracy on longer range, a dual installation is
recommanded ... CY7 switching around 20 °K to Pt 100. No more detail about installation.
This technical suggestion is subject to project requirements.

Mutual conformity with NBS fixed points indicates that thermocouples produce consistent readings compared to standard references, justifying their use in precise applications by showing negligible deviation at critical temperature benchmarks .
CY7 sub-cryogenic sensors employ specific conversion procedures to determine switch points and voltage responses in sub-cryogenic temperatures, whereas thermocouples like Type 'T' and 'J' rely on standardized calibrations against fixed temperature points like those described in NBS Monograph .
J-Thin 'J' thermocouples are calibrated using fixed points data and show mutual conformity with NBS fixed points, thereby serving as a reliable reference in the specific range from -210.002 to 500°C. This conformity suggests strong accuracy and reliability for high-precision applications .
The boiling point of hydrogen is -252.870°C and the sublimation point is -259.340°C. These values are sourced from the data provided in .
Switching from CY7 to Pt100 sensors is recommended to accommodate different accuracy and range requirements, as CY7 operates optimally in a sub-cryogenic range, whereas Pt100 offers better performance in broader ranges above 20K, aligning with project specifics .
Rational fraction fits improve the accuracy of temperature data by capturing the relationships in thermocouple data precisely, leading to minimal deviation at fixed points and high fidelity in measurement across ranges .
The freezing and boiling points are part of the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) which uses the triple points of several substances, such as hydrogen and water, to define temperature points and standardize them across different scales .
The Type 'T' thermocouple calibration data is reduced by removing the redundant [0,0] point and fitting the remaining data using a normalized Padé rational function, ensuring high precision across the functional range .
Triple points provide highly reproducible states involving solid, liquid, and gas phases under equilibrium conditions, making them ideal for defining fixed points on temperature scales like ITS-90. These fixed points ensure accuracy and reliability across temperature measurements .
Triple points like water's at 0.01°C are used because they provide a reliable and reproducible standard point for calibration in temperature scales, integrating the properties of phase equilibria which are invariant under defined pressure and volume conditions .
