In a gas thermometer, temperature readings are practically independent from the aeriform contained in the volume in which an isochoric process transformation (the variation in pressure and temperature at a constant volume) is produced if pressure and temperature conditions allow you to consider the aeriform used to be perfect. The kit consists of an aluminium container, with a capacity of about 330 cc, immersed in a glass container. Pressure and a temperature sensors allow you to characterize the system’s evolution when it is heated or cooled. The straight line p = f (T) defined by the experimental data is the calibration curve of the air thermometer. The temperature value which is obtained extracting the graph up to the value p = 0, indicates that there is a temperature minimum value which is physically meaningful.
