Temperature Scale Of Thermometer:
A thermometer has two reference temperatures or fixed points. These are the Upper Fixed Point and the Lower Fixed Temperature Point.
The Upper Fixed Point:
Upper fixed point (UFP) is the temperature of steam from pure water boiling at standard atmospheric pressure of 760 mm of mercury (760 mmHg).
The Lower Fixed Point:
The lower fixed point (LFP) is the temperature of pure melting ice at standard atmospheric pressure of 760mm of mercury (760 mmHg).
Fundamental Interval:
The difference between the upper fixed temperature point and the lower fixed temperature point of a thermometer is called the fundamental interval . The calibration of the fundamental interval of a thermometer depends on the temperature scale chosen.
Temperature Scales and Conversion refer to changing the value of temperature from one unit to another.
There are many temperature conversion methods. Among them, Kelvin, Celsius
