Kelvin (K):
Description: The Kelvin is defined as the base unit of temperature by the International System of Units, or SI. It is measured using the absolute zero, where all motions resulting in heat dissipation come to a halt.
Conversion Factor: 1 (Base Unit)
Common Applications: Physics, chemistry, scientific studies.
Celsius (°C):
The Celsius temperature scale is also known as the centigrade scale. In this scale, water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C under standard conditions. It finds its application in daily activities, weather forecasting, and scientific work.
Conversion Factor: 1
General Uses: Weather, cooking, and general temperature measurement.
Celsius (°C):
Description: A Fahrenheit is a temperature scale that is widely used in the US. Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and boils at 212 degrees under normal conditions.
Conversion Factor: 0.555556 to convert to Celsius
Common Uses: Weather forecasting, cooking and temperature measurement in the United States.
Rankine (°R):
Description: In analogy, the Rankine scale is the same as the Kelvin but uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees. It begins at absolute zero like Kelvin but uses the Fahrenheit increment.
Conversion Factor: 0.555556
Common Applications Thermodynamics and engineering in the US.
Delisle °De):
Description: The Delisle scale is an older temperature scale that decreases as temperature increases, with water boiling at 0°De and freezing at 150°De. It is rarely used today.
Conversion Factor: -0.666667
Common Uses: Historical temperature measurements.
Newton (°N):
Description: Newton scale is developed by Isaac Newton. This is a very old and historical temperature scale where water freezes at 0°N and boils at 33°N.
Conversion Factor: 0.330000
Historical and scientific references are typical applications. Reaumur (°Re):
Description In the Réaumur scale, an older temperature scale, the freezing point of water is 0°Re and its boiling point is 80°Re. It was widely used throughout Europe and is now used very little.
Conversion Factor: 1.250000 Common Application: European temperature record, historically. Romer (°Ro): Description: Danish astronomer Ole Rømer invented the Rømer scale. In this scale, the freezing point of water is 7.5°Ro while its boiling point is 60°Ro. Conversion Factor: 0.525000 Common Uses: Historical and scientific references.
