  1. absolute scale

    An absolute scale is a system of measurement that begins at a minimum, or absolute zero point, and progresses in a consistent, fixed manner. It derives its measurements from an established standard, thus it is not relative or comparative to other measurements. Examples of absolute scales are the Kelvin temperature scale, where zero represents absolute zero, or the Rankine temperature scale.
