When to Use Each Unit
Celsius: Standard temperature scale used worldwide for weather, cooking, medical measurements, and scientific applications. Official scale in most countries except the United States.
Rankine: Used primarily in engineering applications in the United States, particularly in thermodynamics and heat transfer calculations.
Common Conversion Values
- 0°C = 32°F (water freezing)
- 100°C = 212°F (water boiling)
- 37°C = 98.6°F (human body temperature)
- 20°C = 68°F (room temperature)
About (symbol:
Definition: Celsius (symbol: °C) is a temperature scale where water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C at standard atmospheric pressure. Originally called centigrade.
History: Developed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742, originally with 0° as boiling point and 100° as freezing point. The scale was inverted after his death to the current form.
Current Use: Standard temperature scale used worldwide for weather, cooking, medical measurements, and scientific applications. Official scale in most countries except the United States.
Examples: Weather: -10°C to 40°C, cooking: 180°C oven, fever: 39°C, refrigerator: 4°C
About (symbol:
Definition: Rankine (symbol: °R) is an absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit-sized degrees, with 0°R at absolute zero (-459.67°F).
History: Named after Scottish engineer William Rankine in 1859. Combines absolute zero concept with Fahrenheit degree intervals.
Current Use: Used primarily in engineering applications in the United States, particularly in thermodynamics and heat transfer calculations.
Examples: Engineering calculations, thermodynamics, power plant operations, HVAC systems
