Abstract

For disseminating a ney IEC international standard of critical trmperature of NbTi,Nb$_3$Sn and Bi-2223 Composite Suterconductors, we develpted a measuring system and studied standardization of test method. The measuring system consisted of cryogenic reservoir, base plate, thermometer, voltmeter and current source. Various specimens of the Nbti, Nb$_3$Sn and Bi-2223 composite superconductors were tested using this system for measuring their critical temperatures. After measuring the resistance-temperature relation, the data were compensated with thermoelectric voltages for NbTi Nb$_3$Sn specimens. NbTi specimens showed 9.2 K ~ 9.5 K of transition temperature and Nb$_3$Sn specimen showed about 18 K. Bi-2223 specimens showed 104 K ~ 107 K of transition temperature.
