a metric scale for measuring temperature?

Answer 1

Three temperature scales are in common use in science and industry. Two of those scales are SI metric:

The degree Celsius (°C) scale was devised by dividing the range of temperature between the freezing and boiling temperatures of pure water at standard atmospheric conditions (sea level pressure) into 100 equal parts. Temperatures on this scale were at one time known as degrees centigrade, however it is no longer correct to use that terminology. [In 1948 the official name was changed from "centigrade degree" to "Celsius degree" by the 9th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM).]

The kelvin (K) temperature scale is an extension of the degree Celsius scale down to absolute zero, a hypothetical temperature characterized by a complete absence of heat energy. Temperatures on this scale are called kelvins, NOT degrees kelvin, kelvin is not capitalized, and the symbol (capital K) stands alone with no degree symbol. [In 1967 the new official name "kelvin" and symbol "K" were set by the 13th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM).]

The degree Fahrenheit (°F) non-metric temperature scale was devised and evolved over time so that the freezing and boiling temperatures of water are whole numbers, but not round numbers as in the Celsius temperature scale.

Answer 4

Generally Celsius is used around the rest of the world where the metric system is in use. Some sciences use the Kelvin scale which can be found by adding 273 to the Celsius temperature. I'm guessing the fixed points would be 0 and 100, representing the freezing point and boiling point of water respectively.

Answer 5

In countries where metric measurements are used the conventional temperature scale is °C degrees (centigrade or Celsius, it's the same). However in labs and science in general K (Kelvin in honor Lord Kelvin) is used as a scale. In any case one °C = K + 273.

Absolute 0 = 0K = -273°C
Freezing point of pure water = 273K = 0°C
Boiling poin of water = 373K = 100°C (that's why it is also called centigrade, 100 degrees between freezing and boiling)

°C = (°F-32) * 5/9
°F = 9/5°C + 32

Celcius. Fixed points are absolute 0, at -273 degrees, the freezing point of pure water at 1atm, at 0 degrees, and the boiling point of pure water at 1atm, 100 degrees.

Answer 8

A thermometer, with a centigrade scale?

who gives a **** about metric scale?what kind of gay *** question is that?are u like an assfuck.piece of lonely ****.asswipe

Answer 10

It's calle CELCIUS.
