Abstract	A cryostat for fixed-point calibration of capsule-type SPRTs (standard platinum resistance thermometers) was developed. Using this system, cryogenic fixed points defined on the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) were realized. The cryogenic cells were argon, oxygen, neon, and two equilibrium-hydrogen (e-H$_{2}$) cells, made by INRiM, Italy. The uncertainty of the realization of each fixed point was estimated to range from 0.53 mK to 0.43 mK (k = 2). The realizations of the triple point of e-H$_{2}$ using two sealed cells coincided within 0.1 mK. Therefore, we are able to calibrate capsule-type SPRTs down to 24.5561 K within an uncertainty of 1 mK (k = 2) by this system. A closed-cycle helium gas refrigerator was used for the cryostat. Each sealed cell was designed so that it could accommodate three sealed cells in the thermometer wells made within the cell. Therefore, the cryostat was designed to accommodate only one sealed cell at a time. The base temperature of this liquid-free cryostat, when one sealed cell and three capsule-type SPRTs were attached for calibration, was ~17 K. For the realization of the triple point of e-H$_{2}$, we used liquid helium for additional cooling. Adiabatic melting of the triple point was realized by controlling the inner-most radiation shield at a temperature very close to that of the triple point, and by applying a heat pulse by a heater directly wound to the cell. The amount of the heater power and the waiting time for the thermal equilibrium after each heat pulse were chosen in a way that the adiabatic melting could be finished within ~6 h for each cell. The triple point of each cryogenic fixed point was deduced from the equilibrium temperatures between the heat pulses and subsequent extrapolation to the liquidus point. For the oxygen cell, temperatures of two solid–solid transitions (α–β and β–γ transitions) were also measured, and the results were consistent with values reported in the literature within the designated uncertainty.
