Fahrenheit description |
---|
The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by DutchGermanPolish physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (16861736). It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: °F) as the unit. Several accounts of how he originally defined his scale exist. The lower defining point, 0 °F, was established as the temperature of a solution of brine made from equal parts of ice, water and salt (ammonium chloride). Further limits were established as the melting point of ice (32 °F) and his best estimate of the average human body temperature (96 °F, about 2.6 °F less than the modern value due to a later redefinition of the scale). The scale is now usually defined by two fixed points: the temperature at which water freezes into ice is defined as 32 °F, and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 °F, a 180 °F separation, as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure.By the end of the 20th century, Fahrenheit was used as the official temperature scale only in the United |
