Kelvin thermometer

thermometer

[ther-mom´ĕ-ter] an instrument for determining temperatures, in principle making use of a substance (such as alcohol or mercury) with a physical property that varies with temperature and is susceptible of measurement on some defined scale.

Kelvin thermometer

A thermometric scale in which absolute zero is 0°K; the freezing point of water is 273.15°K; and the boiling point of water is 373.15°K. Thus 1°K on the Kelvin scale is exactly equivalent to 1°C. See also: Kelvin, Lord

Kelvin,

Lord William Thomson, Scottish physicist, 1824-1907. kelvin (K) - a unit of thermodynamic temperature equal to 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water.Kelvin scale - temperature scale in which the triple point of water is assigned the value of 273.16 K.Kelvin thermometer
