Temperature Converter
🌡️ Celsius Scale (°C)
Usage: Construction, physics, sports
Key Points:
Defined by the speed of light
Backbone of the metric system
Universally adopted in science and trade
🌡️ Fahrenheit Scale (°F)
Used In: Mainly the United States and its territories.
Key Points:
32°F = Freezing point of water
212°F = Boiling point of water
Offers finer resolution for weather and body temperature
❄️ Kelvin Scale (K)
Scientific Use: SI base unit for temperature.
Key Points:
Starts at 0 K (absolute zero)
No negative numbers
Common in physics, chemistry, and thermodynamics
⚙️ Rankine Scale (°R)
Engineering Applications: Primarily used in thermodynamic calculations in the U.S.
Key Points:
0°R = Absolute zero
491.67°R = Freezing point of water
Useful in aerospace and mechanical engineering.
🕰️ Réaumur Scale (°Ré)
Usage: Once common in parts of Europe, now largely obsolete.
Key Points:
0°Ré = Freezing point of water
80°Ré = Boiling point of water
Still referenced in historical documents and some cheese/wine making.
💧 Triple Point of Water
Definition: The unique combination of temperature and pressure at which water exists simultaneously as a solid, liquid, and gas.
Scientific Importance:
Critical in calibrating thermometers and scientific instruments
Occurs at 611.657 pascals (approx. 6.11657 mbar)
Temperature Conversion Formulas
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
°C = (°F – 32) × 5/9
K = °C + 273.15
°R = °F + 459.67
°Ré = °C × 4/5
