These distinct points occur at a fixed, reproducible temperature, determined by nature. They do not require the use of a reference sensor in order to measure them. For example, gallium <strong>always<\/strong> melts (goes from solid state to liquid state) at 29.7646\u00b0C. A distinct fixed point is the <strong>triple point<\/strong>. And a distinct triple point is the <strong>triple point of water<\/strong> (0.01\u00b0C under 1 atm).     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The triple point<\/strong> is the point at which the vaporisation curve, the sublimation curve and the fusion curve of a substance meet. It was Josiah W. Gibbs (1839-1903) who recognised and proposed the phase rule: the three states, solid, liquid, gas, only coexist at one unique point within the thermodynamic parameters, the triple point. Vapour, liquid and solid are found together at a unique defined temperature and pressure.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"391\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/thermibel.be\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/faq-3.png\" alt=\"Figure 1.
