a scale to measure temperature that defines the freezing point of water as 32° and the steam point as 212
Thermodynamic scale of temperature. Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit can be obtained from value in degrees Celsius by the following formula: F = (9C/5) + 32
Temperature scale with the ice point as 32 and the steam point as 212. Thus the temperature in Fahrenheit = 32 +1.8 x the temperature in Celsius.
A temperature scale with the ice point of water (freezing) at 32° and the boiling point of water at 212°. The conversion between Fahrenheit and Celsius is F=9/5C +32.
A temperature scale with the ice point at 32 and the boiling point of water at 212. The formula for conversion to the Celsius scale is: C = 5/9 (F - 32).
A temperature scale that uses 32 degrees as the melting point of ice and 212 degrees as the boiling point of water.
A temperature scale on which the freezing point of water equals 32° and the boiling point equals 212° at standard atmospheric pressure (760 mm Hg). Introduced in 1724 by German physicist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736).
A temperature scale with the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and its boiling point at 212 degrees. Conversion to the Celsius temperature scale is accomplished by the formula C=(F-32)5/9.
The temperature scale that registers the freezing point of water as 32 degrees and the boiling point as 212 degrees.
A temperature scale on which the freezing point of water is 32° F and the boiling point is 212° F.
(Abbreviated °F.) A temperature scale with the ice point at 32° and the boiling point of water at 212°. Conversion with the centigrade temperature scale (°C) is accomplished by the formula: °F = (9/5)°C + 32. Compare Celsius temperature scale.
temperature scale where water at sea level has a freezing point of +32°F and a boiling point of +212°F. More commonly used in areas that observe the English system of measurement. Created in 1714 by Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit (1696-1736), a German physicist, who also invented the alcohol and mercury thermometers.
