  2. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    Converting units of temperature differences (also referred to as temperature deltas) is not the same as converting absolute temperature values, and different formulae must be used. To convert a delta temperature from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, the formula is {ΔT}°F = ⁠ 9 5 ⁠{ΔT}°C. To convert a delta temperature from degrees ...

  3. Fahrenheit - Wikipedia

    x °F ≘ (x + 459.67) °R. x °R ≘ (x − 459.67) °F. For temperature intervalsrather than specific temperatures, 1 °F = 1 °R = ⁠5/9⁠ °C = ⁠5/9⁠ K. Conversion between temperature scales. Historically, on the Fahrenheit scale the freezing pointof water was 32 °F, and the boiling pointwas 212 °F (at standard atmospheric pressure).

    Celsius scale. ( ⁠ 5. /. 9 ⁠ x − 273.15) °C. Fahrenheit. ( x − 459.67) °F. The Rankine scale ( / ˈræŋkɪn /) is an absolute scale of thermodynamic temperature named after the University of Glasgow engineer and physicist Macquorn Rankine, who proposed it in 1859. [1]

  5. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    This definition also precisely related the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which defines the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature with symbol K. Absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as being exactly 0 K and −273.15 °C. Until 19 May 2019, the temperature of the triple point of water was defined as exactly 273.16 ...

  6. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    For example, the freezing point of water is 0 °C and 32 °F, and a 5 °C change is the same as a 9 °F change. Thus, to convert from units of Fahrenheit to units of Celsius, one subtracts 32 °F (the offset from the point of reference), divides by 9 °F and multiplies by 5 °C (scales by the ratio of units), and adds 0 °C (the offset from the ...

    5 ⁠x + 32) °F. The degree Celsius is the unit of temperature on the Celsius temperature scale [1] (originally known as the centigrade scale outside Sweden), [2] one of two temperature scales used in the International System of Units (SI), the other being the closely related Kelvin scale. The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a ...

    Common scales of temperature measured in degrees: CelsiusC) FahrenheitF) Rankine (°R or °Ra), which uses the Fahrenheit scale, adjusted so that 0 degrees Rankine is equal to absolute zero. Unlike the degree Fahrenheit and degree Celsius, the kelvin is no longer referred to or written as a degree (but was before 1967 [1] [2] [3]). The ...

  9. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    Most scientists measure temperature using the Celsius scale and thermodynamic temperature using the Kelvin scale, which is the Celsius scale offset so that its null point is 0 K = −273.15 °C, or absolute zero. Many engineering fields in the US, notably high-tech and US federal specifications (civil and military), also use the Kelvin and ...
