The thermometer that measures our body temperature is called clinical thermometer. There are two types of thermometers i.e. clinical and laboratory thermometer. Both are based on the Celsius scale of temperature and both are mercury thermometers.
The Fahrenheit scale of temperature is the common form of temperature measurement used in the United States and some parts of the Caribbean. It was created by the German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century, and adapted its measurements standards from a previous scale created by Ole Roemer.
Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and boils at 212 degrees F. The Fahrenheit temperature scale includes negative temperatures, below 0 degrees F. The coldest possible temperature, absolute zero, is -459.67 degrees F.
The Celsius scale is sometimes referred to as the centigrade scale, because it is based on a 100 degree division between the freezing and boiling points of water: water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees C. Because of how the boiling and freezing points are arranged, each degree of Fahrenheit is 1.8 times the size of a degree Celsius. Like Fahrenheit, Celsius includes negative temperatures. Absolute zero falls at -273.15 degrees C.
The Kelvin scale was adapted from the Celsius scale in the 19th century by the British scientist William Thompson, later Lord Kelvin. Kelvin was designed in order to set the zero point of the temperature scale at absolute zero. Because of this, absolute zero is located at 0 K – Kelvin does not use degrees in its notation. You can convert from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15 to a Celsius temperature. Water freezes at 273.15 K, and boils at 373.15 K. Because of its direct relation to absolute zero, Kelvin temperature is widely used in scientific equations and calculations. For instance, the ideal gas law, used to show the relationship between mass, pressure, temperature and volume, uses Kelvin as its standard unit.
