Quantity Catalog - Temperature
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, determining how hot or cold it feels.
Units such as Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin are commonly used to measure temperature. These units help in determining weather conditions, cooking temperatures, and monitoring body temperature.
- Temperature is crucial for:
- Weather forecasting
- Cooking and baking
- Monitoring health and fever
- Regulating industrial processes
- Maintaining comfort in indoor environments

Kelvin
k
1 K = 1.0 K (Base Unit); The Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications, where 0K represents absolute zero. |
|
degree celcius
degc
1 degC = 1.0 K; "degC" is a unit of measurement for temperature in the Celsius scale. It is commonly used to indicate the degree of hotness or coldness of an object or environment. |
|
degree fahrenheit
degf
1 degF = 0.5555555555555556 K; "DegF" is a unit of temperature measurement in the Fahrenheit scale, representing degrees Fahrenheit. It is commonly used in weather forecasts and for measuring body temperature. |
|
degree kelvin
degk
1 degK = 1.0 K; "degK" is a unit of temperature measurement in the Kelvin scale. It is equivalent to one degree difference on the Kelvin scale, used in scientific calculations and thermodynamics. |
|
degree rankine
degr
1 degR = 0.5555555555555556 K; The "degr" is a unit of temperature measurement in the Rankine scale, equivalent to one degree Rankine. It is used to measure changes in temperature. |
|
planck temperature
kplanck
1 kplanck = 1.41678416e+32 K; The kplanck is a unit of temperature, also known as the Planck temperature, representing the theoretical maximum temperature in the universe. |
