Abstract

Frequencies of acoustic and electromagnetic resonances were measured in a quasispherical acoustic resonator at the temperature of the triple point of water. The resonator was filled with helium 4He. Based on the analysis of experimental data, a value for the Boltzmann constant of kB = 1.380651·10–23 J·K–1 with uncertainty of 2.4 ppm was obtained.
