The three most common temperature scales are Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. The illustration below shows identical liquid filled thermometers. Each is calibrated with one of the three temperature scales. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales show the boiling point for water at 212oF and 100oC.The freezing point for water is 32oF and 0oC. The size of the degrees is different.he Celsius and Kelvin scales have the same size degree, but have different 'zero' or starting points. The freezing point for water is 0oC and 273.15 in the Kelvin scale. Conversions between the Kelvin and Celsius require the addition or subtraction of 273.15.
The interval scale possesses all the characteristics of an ordinal scale, but it also allows the researcher to compare the difference between the objects. The interval scale is characterized by a constant or equal interval between the values of the scale. This means the difference between any two values is equivalent to the difference between any two adjacent values of an interval scale. Such as, the difference between 1 and 2 on a scale is same as that of the difference between 3 and 4 on the scale. The most common example is a Celsius temperature scale in which the difference between the values is same. In the case of interval scales, the distance between the descriptors is also known.
