Re: [AMMRL] 99.8% MeOD vs 80% Ethylene Glycol

Hi

If you are at high field (~600MHz & cryoprobes) you may need to use deuterated
ethylene glycol because of radiation damping

Could this be the problem you are having?

You can also measure temperatures directly by putting a long platinum resistance
thermometer down the bore in a dummy sample of something like glycerol (note
many thermocouples are too inaccurate unless externally calibrated, in which
case they will work as well)

Regards
Gary

Subject: [AMMRL] 99.8% MeOD vs 80% Ethylene Glycol


Dear All,
I need to use 80% Ethylene Glycol for high temperature calibration.

Before I do the calibration, I compared it with 99.8% MeOD at 303 K.

When I set temperature to 303 K,
99.8% MeOD gives 303.03 K while 80% Ethylene Glycol gives 300.57 K

The difference between the two calibration samples is 2.46 K.
Is this normal?
Your comments are appreciated!
