Triple Point Of Water
The triple point of water is the temperature and pressure at which water can coexist in solid, liquid, and gaseous states in thermodynamic equilibrium.
History/Origin
The triple point of water was first precisely defined in the 19th century and has since been used as a fundamental fixed point in temperature measurement, notably in the International Temperature Scale (ITS-90).
Current Use
The triple point of water serves as a standard calibration point for thermometers and is used to define the Kelvin temperature scale, with the unit symbol TPW representing this specific fixed point in temperature measurement.
Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale primarily used in the United States, where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F under standard atmospheric conditions.
History/Origin
Developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, the Fahrenheit scale was one of the first standardized temperature scales and was widely adopted in the United States and some Caribbean nations. It was based on fixed points such as the freezing point of a saltwater solution and human body temperature.
Current Use
Today, the Fahrenheit scale is mainly used in the United States for everyday temperature measurements, including weather forecasts, cooking, and other domestic applications. Most of the world uses the Celsius scale, but Fahrenheit remains prevalent in specific regions and contexts.
