Unit History
About fahrenheit
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit introduced his temperature scale in 1724, basing it on a mixture of ice, water, and salt as 0° and average human body temperature near 96°. The Fahrenheit scale remains common in the United States and a few other regions for weather and cooking.
About rankine
Proposed by Scottish engineer William Rankine in 1859, the Rankine scale mirrors Kelvin but uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees. It serves niche roles in engineering fields that rely on imperial measurements.
