Belknap County Sheriff Department is with Madi Hartford and Mike Moyer. Â· January 18 at 7:06am Â· The Belknap County Sheriffâs Department would like to welcome our newest intern, Madi Hartford.
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.
What is the equivalent temperature in kelvin scale if the normal body temperature is 98.4 C? Why is the temperature difference the same in both the Celsius and Kelvin scales? The Celsius scale is based on the fact that 100o separates the freezing and boiling points of water with a special standard composition. The Kelvin scale is the same except thâ¦at it places the zero mark at absolute zero (-273.15oC), not the freezing point of water.
