Scale for measuring temperature. In this scale, water boils at 212° and freezes at 32°.
temperature scale devised in 1717 by G. D. Fahrenheit and denoted by °F. The normal freezing point of water is 32°F and the normal boiling point of water is 212°F. (See Celsius scale, Kelvin scale, Réaumur scale.)
temperature scale devised by Gabriel Fahrenheit. in which 32° represents the freezing point and 212° the boiling point of water at standard sea-level pressure. Fahrenheit degrees may be converted to centigrade degrees by using the following formula: °C = 5/9 (°F – 32)
A temperature scale invented by the 18th century German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. This scale defines the melting point of water ice as 32° F and the boiling point of water as 212° F. The United States is the only major country in the world still commonly using the Fahrenheit scale.
The temperature scale that places the boiling point of water at 212'F and the freezing point at 32'F.
a temperature scale that defines the freezing point of water as 32 degrees and the boiling point of water a 212 degrees
This is a temperature measurement scale used in the English system.
The temperature scale that places the boiling point of water at 212oF and the freezing point at 32oF.
A temperature scale where 32 is assigned to the temperature where water freezes and 212 to the temperature where water boils (at sea level).
the temperature in which the freezing point of water is thirty-two degrees and the boiling point of water is two-hundred twelve degrees
temperature scale on which the boiling point of water is at 212 degrees above the zero of the scale and the freezing point of water is at 32 degrees above zero
The scale at witch , under standard atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is 212 degrees and freezing point is 32 degrees.
Scale of temperature named after its German originator, G. D. Fahrenheit. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32° F, and the boiling point of water is 212° F.
