  2. Room temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature

    Retrieved 4 April 2018. 1.2.3.3 Definition of Room Temperature: According to the United States Pharmacopeia National Forumlary [sic] (USP-NF), the definition of room temperature is between 15 and 30 °C in the United States. However, in the EU, the room temperature is defined as being 15 to 25 °C, while in Japan, it is defined being 1 to 30 °C.

  3. Temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

    Temperature is a physical quantity that quantitatively expresses the attribute of hotness or coldness. ... [72] at room temperature. Generally speaking, ...

  4. Thermodynamic temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_temperature

    [42] [43] Room temperature ("cold" in tire terms) is 296 K. If the tire temperature is 20 °C hotter (20 kelvins), the solution is calculated as ⁠ 316 K / 296 K ⁠ = 6.8% greater thermodynamic temperature and absolute pressure; that is, an absolute pressure of 320 kPa, which is a gage pressure of 220 kPa.

  5. Room-temperature superconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room-temperature...

    A room-temperature superconductor is a hypothetical material capable of displaying superconductivity above 0 °C (273 K; 32 °F), operating temperatures which are commonly encountered in everyday settings. As of 2023, the material with the highest accepted superconducting temperature was highly pressurized lanthanum decahydride, whose ...

  6. Thermal comfort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort

    Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses subjective satisfaction with the thermal environment. [1] The human body can be viewed as a heat engine where food is the input energy. The human body will release excess heat into the environment, so the body can continue to operate. The heat transfer is proportional to temperature ...

  7. Thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

    Mercury thermometer (mercury-in-glass thermometer) for measurement of room temperature. [1]A thermometer is a device that measures temperature (the hotness or coldness of an object) or temperature gradient (the rates of change of temperature in space).

  8. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

    A medical/clinical thermometer showing the temperature of 38.7 °C (101.7 °F) Temperature measurement (also known as thermometry) describes the process of measuring a current temperature for immediate or later evaluation. Datasets consisting of repeated standardized measurements can be used to assess temperature trends.

  9. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    Comparison of temperature scales. * Normal human body temperature is 36.8 °C ±0.7 °C, or 98.2 °F ±1.3 °F. The commonly given value 98.6 °F is simply the exact conversion of the nineteenth-century German standard of 37 °C. Since it does not list an acceptable range, it could therefore be said to have excess (invalid) precision.
