About this category: Temperature
Temperature is not a simple factor conversion: the scales are affine with different zero points. The correct formula is Β°F = Β°C Γ 9/5 + 32, and K = Β°C + 273.15.
Temperature is affine, not a factor: Β°F = Β°C Γ 9/5 + 32 and K = Β°C + 273.15. A value can never fall below absolute zero.
Practical uses
- Chemical and industrial processes
- Weather, climate, refrigeration and HVAC
- Material and concrete heat treatment
