Temperature Scales

OBJECTIVES:

1.Compare temperature scales.


2. Master scale conversions.
3. Explore historical development.
Five different temperature scales

1. Celsius- it has a freezing


point of 0 ℃ and boiling
point of 100°C. It is widely
used througout the world,
particularly for scientific
works.
2. Fahrenheit:
- It is used mostly in english speaking
countries for purpose other than scientific
works and based on the mercury thermometter.
In this scale, the freezing point of water is 32`F
and the boiling point is 212`f.
3.Kelvin\ Absolute - it is the most
commonlused thermodynamic
temperature scale.
Zeris defined as absolute zero of
temperature thais,-273.15c,or-
459.67 °F.
4. Rankine
-is another temperature scale
employing absolute zero as it's lowest
point in which each degree of
temperature is equivalent to one
degree on the Fahrenheit scale.
The freezing point of water under
this scale is 492°R and the boiling
point is 672°R.
5. International Temperature Scale
- In 1933,scientist of 31 nations
adopted a new international
temperature scale with additional fixed
temperature points, based on the Kelvin
Scale and thermodynamic principles.
-The international scale is based on the
property of electrical resistively, with
platinum wire as the standard for
temperature between -190°and 660℃.
