Celsius
Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature measurement where 0°C is the freezing point of water and 100°C is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The Celsius scale was developed by Anders Celsius in 1742, originally with 0°C as the boiling point of water and 100°C as the freezing point, later reversed to its current form.
Current Use
Celsius is widely used worldwide for everyday temperature measurements, scientific research, and weather reporting, especially in most countries outside the United States.
Triple Point Of Water
The triple point of water is the temperature and pressure at which water can coexist in solid, liquid, and gaseous states in thermodynamic equilibrium.
History/Origin
The triple point of water was first precisely defined in the 19th century and has since been used as a fundamental fixed point in temperature measurement, notably in the International Temperature Scale (ITS-90).
Current Use
The triple point of water serves as a standard calibration point for thermometers and is used to define the Kelvin temperature scale, with the unit symbol TPW representing this specific fixed point in temperature measurement.
