Self-contained breathing apparatus pressure changes with ambient temperature. As temperature decreases, the pressure inside the cylinder decreases. The relationship between the temperature and the pressure of a gas is defined by the formula "PV" = "nRT". (See Universal gas constant.) What is particularly important to understand from the formula is that the temperature is in kelvins, not degrees Fahrenheit. Consider the freezing point of water at 32 °F (0 °C, 273.15 K) and compare it to 96 °F (35.6 °C or 308.71 K; normal human body temperature is 37 °C). While 96 is arithmetically three times 32, the difference in temperature from a
Planck temperature Planck temperature Planck temperature, denoted by "T", is the unit of temperature in the system of natural units known as Planck units. It serves as the defining unit of the Planck temperature scale. In this scale the magnitude of the Planck temperature is equal to 1, while that of absolute zero is 0. Other temperatures can be converted to Planck temperature units. For example, = = . In SI units, the Planck temperature is about kelvin (equivalently, degrees Celsius, since the difference is trivially small at this scale), or degrees Fahrenheit or Rankine. What today is known as the Planck
