fahrenheit scale
The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that is based on the freezing point of water at 32 degrees and the boiling point of water at 212 degrees, under standard atmospheric conditions. It was developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a physicist in the early 18th century, and is mainly used in the United States and its territories.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Fahrenheit Scale
A thermometer scale in use in the United States and England. On this scale the temperature of melting ice is 32°; that of condensing steam is 212°; the degrees are all of equal length. Its use is indicated by the letter F., as 180° F. To convert its readings into centigrade, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9. (b) To convert centigrade into F. multiply by 9/5 and add 32. Thus 180° F. = ((180-32) * 5/9)° C. = 82.2° C. Again 180° C. = (180 * 9/5) + 32 = 324° F. [Transcribers note: 180° C. = (180 * 9/5) + 32 = 356° F. ] The additions and subtractions must be algebraic in all cases. Thus when the degrees are minus or below zero the rules for conversion might be put thus: To convert degrees F. below zero into centigrade to the number of degrees F. add 32, multiply by 5/9 and place a minus sign (-) before it. (b) To convert degrees centigrade below zero into Fahrenheit, multiply the number of degrees by 9/5, subtract from 32 if smaller; if greater than 32 subtract 32 therefrom, and prefix a minus sign, thus: -10° C. = 32 - (10 * 9/5) = 14°. Again, -30°C. = (30 * 9/5) - 32 = 22 = -22° F.
