MultiFixRadSoft: A Comprehensive Tool for Primary Relative Radiometric Scale Realization in Radiation Thermometry

Abstract

This paper presents a practical implementation of relative primary radiation thermometry (RPRT) together with MultiFixRadSoft, an open-source software package developed in accordance with the Mise-en-Pratique for the kelvin (MeP-K) for realization of the thermodynamic temperature scale and uncertainty evaluation under the new definition of the kelvin. The software enables realization of temperature scales using ITS-90 metal fixed points as well as metal–carbon and metal–carbide–carbon eutectic high-temperature fixed points (HTFPs) for both radiation thermometers and radiometers. It incorporates automated routines for melting-plateau analysis, including determination of the point of inflection, liquidus point, and melting range, together with correction modules for size-of-source effect, detector nonlinearity, emissivity, and temperature-drop. Validation is demonstrated through experimental realization using six fixed points (Cu, Fe–C, Co–C, Pd–C, Ru–C, and WC–C) and a linear radiation thermometer. The software also supports ITS-90 extrapolation procedures and flexible calibration schemes (n = 1 to n ≥ 3), with automated Sakuma–Hattori fitting and full uncertainty propagation compliant with MeP-K requirements. Results show excellent agreement with manual analyses and published data, confirming the correctness of the implemented algorithms. By integrating data processing, scale realization, and uncertainty analysis within a unified and transparent framework, MultiFixRadSoft provides a robust and accessible tool for traceable radiometric thermometry, supporting emerging NMIs and industrial laboratories while promoting wider adoption of primary thermodynamic temperature realization methods.
