Other organizations have established a variety of alternative definitions for their standard reference conditions. In chemistry, IUPAC has established two standards: standard temperature and pressure (STP) as a temperature of 273.15 K (0 Â°C, 32 Â°F) and an absolute pressure of exactly 100 kPa (1 bar).
Body temperature is usually measured by a thermometer placed in the mouth, the rectum, or the auditory canal (for tympanic membrane temperature). The normal oral temperature is 37Â° Celsius (98.6Â° Fahrenheit); rectally, it is 37.3Â° Celsius (99.2Â° Fahrenheit).
