[ noun ] (physics) a unit of temperature equal to one-thousandth of a degree
Used in print (1961 Research Highlights of the National Bureau of...)When values of temperature derived with this instrument were compared with the accepted values associated with liquid helium 4 vapor_pressures , differences of about 10 and 7 millidegrees respectively were found . Several germanium resistors have been thermally cycled from 300 to 4.2 * * f and their resistances have been found to be reproducible within 1 3 millidegree when temperatures were derived from a vapor_pressure thermometer whose tubing is jacketed through most_of the liquid helium . The estimated standard_deviations of the data for two of the resistors were 1 millidegree ; and for the third resistor , 3.3 millidegrees . The estimated standard_deviations of the data for two of the resistors were 1 millidegree ; and for the third resistor , 3.3 millidegrees . The gradient was about one_half of a millidegree at 4.2 * * f but increased to several millidegrees for bath temperatures slightly greater than the l point . Related terms |
