TEMPERATURE
NameFactorY-interceptRemarks
K: kelvin*10Named for Lord William Thomson Kelvin, an English physicist. The kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water (13th CGPM, Conferéence Génélale des Poids et Mesures, 1967).
°C: degree Celsius*1273.15Named for the Swedish scientist A. Celsius in 1742. Defined as one hundredth of temperature difference between the freezing and boiling points of pure water.
°F: degree Fahrenheit*5.55555555555555556E-01255.372222222222222
°R: degree Rankine*5.55555555555555556E-010
°r: degree Reaumur1.25273.15Named for the French scientist Rene-Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur (1683-1757). The interval between the freezing and boiling temperatures of water equals to 80 ‹r instead of 100 ‹C.
