Fahrenheit, Daniel Gabriel (1686-1736) German Instrument maker, physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a German instrument maker and physicist, was born in Danzig, Germany (now Gdansk, Poland), in 1686, the oldest of five children. Fahrenheit s major contributions lay in the creation of the first accurate... [Pg.105]

Fahrenheit. The temperature scale invented by the century instrument maker Daniel Garb riel Fahrenheit that has 32.2° as waters freezing point and 212° as the boiling point. (Originally Fahrenheit set the scale, thinking that 96° was normal body temperature and 32°, waters freezing temperature. Subsequently he realized that by his scale 0°F... [Pg.400]

The formulas for getting back and forth between the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales are °F = 9/5°C + 32 and °C = 5/9(°F — 32). These temperature scales are named for their inventors, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit and Anders Celsius. [Pg.375]

He turned his interests from steel to temperature, and in 1730 he presented to the Paris Academy his study A Guide for the Production of Thermometers with Comparable Scales. He wanted to improve the reliability of thermometers based on the work of Guillaume Amontons, though he appears not to be familiar with Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit s earlier work. [Pg.234]

Fahrenheit In the United States, the Fahrenheit scale is used to measure temperature. German scientist Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit devised the scale in 1724. On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at212°F. [Pg.34]

But there is a simple way out of this dilemma. The heights of mountains are not referred to the geocenter but to the sea level (Fig. 4.3). Everyday temperatures are not referred to absolute zero, but are given as Celsius temperatures based upon the freezing point of water. (The zero point of Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit s original scale was determined by placing the thermometer in brine, here a mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride.)... [Pg.101]

Fahrenheit, Gabriel Daniel (1686-1736) German physicist and engineer but lived most of his life in the Dutch Republic in 1717, he settled in The Hague with the trade of glassblowing, making barometers, altimeters, and thermometers. From 1718 onwards, he lectured in chemistry in Amsterdam. [Pg.602]

Fahrenheit, Gabriel Daniel (1686-1736) German physicist, who became an instrument maker in Amsterdam. in 1714 he developed the mercury-in-glass thermometer, and devised a temperature scale to go with it (seeFahrenheit scale). [Pg.312]

Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit invented the alcohol thermometer in 1709 and the mercury thermometer in 1714. [Pg.18]
