	AllRefer.com - Fahrenheit, Gabriel Daniel Information
		Using his thermometer, Fahrenheit was able to determine the boiling points of liquids and found that they vary with atmospheric pressure.
		Fahrenheit's first thermometers contained a column of alcohol which expanded and contracted directly, as originally devised by Danish astronomer Ole Römer in 1701.
		Fahrenheit later adjusted the scale to ignore body temperature as a fixed point so that the boiling point of water came to 212° and freezing point was 32°.

	Gabriel Fahrenheit Summary
		When Fahrenheit graduated his own scale he emulated Roemer's fixed points; however, with the improved accuracy of a mercury thermometer, he was able to split each degree into four, making the freezing point of water 30° and the temperature of the human body 90°.
		Fahrenheit was born in the Hanseatic city of Danzig where the German-speaking Fahrenheit family had moved to in 1650, an era in which the town was associated to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
		The Fahrenheit scale was widely used in Europe until the switch to the Celsius scale.

	A Brief History of Temperature Measurement
		Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer in 1714, and later discovered the effect of pressure on the boiling point of liquids.
		Fahrenheit sought to create a practical temperature scale in which 0 corresponded with the coldest temperature normally encountered in Western Europe and 100 corresponded to the hottest temperature.
		Fahrenheit initially created a temperature scale in which 0 represented the temperature of a salt and ice mixture (at about 255 K), 30 represented the freezing point of water (273.15 K), and 90 representing the mean human body temperature (about 310 K).

	What is the History of the Fahrenheit Scale?
		Fahrenheit, who devoted much of his life’s work to the measurement of temperature, also invented the alcohol and mercury thermometers.
		On the Fahrenheit scale, the point at which frozen water melts is 32°, and the point where at which it boils is 212°.
		Fahrenheit continues to be used in the United States, although most other countries that use the metric system changed to Celsius in the 1960s and 1970s.

		Fahrenheit temperature scale is a scale based on 32 for the freezing point of water and 212 for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 parts.
		Until the 1970s the Fahrenheit temperature scale was in general common use in English-speaking countries; the Celsius, or centigrade, scale was employed in most other countries and for scientific purposes worldwide.
		The conversion formula for a temperature that is expressed on the Celsius (C) scale to its Fahrenheit (F) representation is: F = 9/5C + 32.

	Fahrenheit - Homedistiller (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the German physicist Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), who proposed it in 1724.
		In this scale, the freezing point of water is 1 E2 K32 degrees Fahrenheit (this is written "32 °F"), and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and melting points of water 180 degrees apart.
		Thus the unit of this scale, a degree Fahrenheit, is 5/9ths of a kelvin (or of a degree Celsius), and minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit is equal to minus 40 degrees Celsius.

	Temperature Measurement Facts
		Mercury is what is used in most thermometers today but up until Fahrenheit most people had used alcohol or water, both of which had a limited range due to their boiling and freezing points.
		Fahrenheit soon discovered that 12 divisions between the two set points was not fine enought for good measurement so he doubled the divisions to 24.
		On the Fahrenheit temperature scale water freezes at 32º and boils at 212º.

		Let F, C, and K be degrees Fahrenheit, Celcius, and Kelvin respectively.
		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 difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 100 degrees in each, so that the Kelvin has the same magnitude as the degree Celsius.
