Then wash the working cavity with the to-be-measured liquid three times, then install about 50mL of to-be-measured liquid, put the working cavity into the constant temperature tank 5 and ensure that the main part of the working cavity is completely immersed below the liquid level of the constant temperature tank 5, connect the nickel wire resistance lead-out wire to the data acquisition system 1, and tightly cover the tank cover of the constant temperature tank 5 to ensure that the temperature field in the constant temperature tank 5 is more stable.
