The speed of sound in argon has been accurately measured in the pressure range 25-380 kPa at the temperature of the triple point of gallium (Tg) and at 340 kPa at the temperature of the triple point of water (Tt). The results are combined with previously published thermodynamic and transport property data to obtain Tg = (302.9169 +/- 0.0005) K on the thermodynamic scale. Among recent determinations of T68 (the temperature on IPTS-68) at the gallium triple point, those with the smallest measurement uncertainty fall in the range 302.923 71 to 302.923 98 K. We conclude that T-T68 = (-6.9 +/- 0.5) mK near 303 K, in agreement with results obtained from other primary thermometers. The speed of sound was measured with a spherical resonator. The volume and thermal expansion of the resonator were determined by weighing the mercury required to fill it at Tt and Tg. The largest part of the standard error in the present determination of Tg is systematic. It results from imperfect knowledge of the thermal expansion of mercury between Tt and Tg. Smaller parts of the error result from imperfections in the measurement of the temperature of the resonator and of the resonance frequencies.
