The invention refers to the fields of
materials science and
metrology and relates to calibration bodies as
usable in analytical
spectroscopy, for example. The problem addressed by the present invention is therefore that of producing
electrically conductive calibration bodies, in particular for calibration of
hydrogen measurement devices. The calibration bodies can be provided in large numbers, easily and inexpensively. The problem is solved by calibration bodies, in particular for calibration of
hydrogen measurement devices, at least consisting of an
electrically conductive porous sintered body, with an essentially
homogeneous distribution of pores and / or defect sites, for example dislocations, stacking defects and / or twinned structures, in the sintered body, in which an adjustable
hydrogen concentration is present depending on the number and size of the pores and / or defect sites in the sintered body, wherein the hydrogen is in physically and / or chemically bonded form in and / or at the surface of the pores and / or defect sites, and wherein the set
hydrogen concentration in the calibration body decreases in the amount specified in each case over time.
