For Fahrenheit we have terms and definitions in 6 topics. The topics are Carpet, Energy, Food, Insulation, Sanitation and Sensors.

Fahrenheit (Carpet)

A scale for measuring temperature. On the Fahrenheit scale, water boils at 212 degrees and freezes at 32 degrees. Fahrenheit is converted to degrees centigrade (Celsius) by subtracting 32, and multiplying by 5/9ths.

Fahrenheit (Energy)

A temperature scale in which the boiling point of water is 212 degrees and its freezing point is 32 degrees. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32, multiply by 5, and divide the product by 9. For example: 100 degrees Fahrenheit

Fahrenheit (Food)

A temperature scale in which 32 degrees represents freezing and 212 degrees represents the steam point. Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, an 18th-century German physicist, devised the scale. To convert Fahrenheit temperatures to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit reading, multiply by 5 and divide by 9.

Fahrenheit (Insulation)

A thermometric scale in which 32°F denotes freezing and 212°F the boiling point of water under normal sea level atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi. °F = 1.8°C + 32.

Fahrenheit (Sanitation)

A temperature scale in which 32 ° marks the freezing point and 212 ° the boiling point of water at one atmosphere pressure. To convert to centigrade (Celsius), subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.

Fahrenheit (Sensors)

The temperature scale in which water freezes at 32 degrees F and boils at 212 degrees F. Named after Gabriel Fahrenheit. Temperatures of the Fahrenheit scale can be converted to equivalent temperatures on the CELSIUS or Centigrade scale by first subtracting 32 [degrees] from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiplying the result by 5/9 according to the formula: (F -32) X 5/9 = C. F - Fahrenheit S - Fahrenheit
