Temperature scale centigrade

Any data series that includes zero as a point on a larger scale, for example the centigrade temperature scale. 

FAHRENHEIT TEMPERATURE SCALE (abbr F). A temperature scale with the ice point at 32 and the boiling point of water at 212. Conversion with the Celsius "centigrade temperature scale (ubbrC) is by the formula... 

Celsius, A. (1701-1744). Swedish physicist who proposed the use of the centigrade temperature scale. His name is now generally applied to this scale (degrees centigrade = degrees Celsius). 

Anders Celsius (1701-1744), a Swedish astronomer, developed the Celsius temperature scale, formerly called the centigrade temperature scale. When we place a Celsius thermometer in a beaker of crushed ice and water, the mercury level stands at exactly 0°C, the lower reference point. In a beaker of water boiling at one atmosphere pressure, the mercury level stands at exactly 100°C, the higher reference point. There are 100 equal steps between these two mercury levels. They correspond to an interval of 100 degrees between the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water at one atmosphere. Figure 1-16 shows how temperature marks between the reference points are established. 

The centigrade temperature scale is obsolete die degree centigrade is only approximately equal to die degree Celsius. 

C = Celsius (formerly centigrade) temperature scale (This book uses C for an actual temperature level, such as water boils at 100 C. Use °C only to indicate a temperature change or temperature difference. See degree mark and T. 

Note—the centigrade temperature scale is obsolete. The unit, degree centigrade, is only approximately equal to the degree Celsius The darcy is a unit for measuring permeability of porous solids This is sometimes called the moment of section or area moment of inertia of a plane section about a specified axis... 

Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius devises the Celsius (centigrade) temperature scale, with the boiling point at zero and the freezing point at 100 degrees. French metallurgist Paul-Jacques Malouin invents the technique of galvanizing. 

Anders Celsius (Sweden) devises the Celsius (centigrade) temperature scale. [1742]... 

Celsius temperature scale, also called centigrade temperature scale, is the scale based on 0 for the freezing point of water and 100 for the boiling point of water. The following formula can be used to convert a temperature from its representation on the Fahrenheit (F) scale to the Celsius (C) value C = 5/9(F - 32). The scale is illustrated in Figure 1.2.
