This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.
Scale of temperature is a methodology of calibrating the physical quantity temperature in metrology. Empirical scales measure temperature in relation to convenient and stable parameters or reference points, such as the freezing and boiling point of water.
This is a list of obsolete units of measurement, organized by type. These units of measurement are typically no longer used, though some may be in limited use in various regions. For units of measurement that are unusual but not necessarily obsolete, see List of unusual units of measurement.
1 lip 2018 · We all use temperature scales every day, whether it’s just to know the outside temperature or to adjust the temperature in our room. Dealing with temperature is so obvious that we no longer think about it. But did you know that there were once 8 different, popular temperature scales to choose from?
This chapter charts these three broad areas of development under the themes of de facto temperature scales, defined temperature scales, and the demise of defined temperature scales.
18 maj 2018 · This chapter traces the history of temperature measurement from the earliest qualitative measures through the numerous attempts to develop a usable measurement scale, while the ability to actually determine temperature developed.
This online calculator allows users to convert temperature values between the seven most widely used temperature scales. These scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine, Delisle, Réaumur, and Rømer.
