3He is a model of Fermi liquid, isotropic, its Fermi temperature is attainable and the interaction between atoms can be controlled by changing the pressure on the liquid. In this paper we present accurate cw-NMR measurements of the nuclear magnetic susceptibility of liquid 3He as a function of temperature and pressure. The emphasis has been placed in reliable thermometry, 3He pressure measurements directly in the cell to increase the measuring range until solidification, and an accurate characterization of the NMR spectrometer. Our measurements give effective Fermi temperatures substantially lower than former results.
