Talk:Conversion of scales of temperature

message: Please note that the current conversion from the Delisle scale to the Fahrenheit scale is currently: [°F] = 121 − [°De] × 6⁄5 and the Fahrenheit to Delisle conversation is: [°De] = (121 − [°F]) × 5⁄6
These equations do not give the correct temperatures, the "121" should be "212".  I did not check the Delisle conversation to other temperature scales, but it might be worth checking.
I am pretty positive this is an error, if someone could please edit the page to reflect the correct equation (I would do it but I have no idea how to edit these tables).
Also note that this equation must be changed on the Delisle wikipedia page.--Corilof (talk) 16:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: However, I'm not so for it now ... in fact, I wonder whether there's much point to this page at all since Conversion of units covers the main four and on the article pages for each of these there's an info box with formulae and a nav. box with links to the articles on the other scales some of which have such infoboxes and others could easily have them added (I think I'll be doing this).

message: the use of the brackets is against the standard defined in ISO 31 - it's not wrong, but in Wikipedia we should not use them this way. The right way to use the brackets is:
:[T] = °C
to say this: the unit of the T (Temperature) is °C (degrees Celsius) (well it should better say Kelvin, but °C shows it better here). It would be great, if someone could add a good explanation to ISO 31-0 (I just added a short sentence there). Greetings -- 217.84.150.117 01:14, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

message: There's a handy template to display the same temperate in two units, e.g.  yields . Should be mentioned somehow in the articles to teach editors about their existence. Also, there are tables which have been subject to subtle changes, which could be avoided by using the template. -- Matthead discuß!     O       01:03, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wiki conversion templates 

message: I'm removing the graph as it is either incorrect or at least easily misinterpreted. For example, the Celsius line would seem to indicate that ice melts at about -100C, and the Fahrenheit line seems to indicate that average human body temperature is about 40F, both of which are clearly incorrect.

replies: text: Never mind. I see the diagonal linking lines now and have undone the deletion. Still, their lightness in color makes them hard to see and, again, contributes to easy misinterpretation of the chart (as I've just done). BW95 (talk) 20:41, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing the graph 

message: I'd like to propose an addition to the external link section. Right now there is a single link to a converter handling Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin and Rankine. The following converter handles (as of this writing) those four scales plus 38 additional ones and furnishes the conversion formula and intersection points (if any) for whichever pair you choose:

Many of those scales are pretty ancient and informally defined, but the page acknowledges this. Kukisvoomchor (talk) 00:26, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The new chart doesn't seem to be working for me. The text at the bottom overlaps. My regular browser is Chrome, but the problem occurs in IE9 and Firefox as well. My Wikipedia appearance preference is default, and thus Vector theme. Hope this helps. Zyxwv99 (talk) 13:33, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The conversion from celsius to Rankine is wrong.
It currently says: [°R] = ([°C] + 273.15) × 9⁄5
It should be: [°R] = ([°C] + 491.67) × 9⁄5  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.88.184.43 (talk) 14:49, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I come to Wikipedia for clear, concise and accurate information. Today's search for "standard temperatures" has wasted my entire afternoon (I am an engineer). While this topic should include "conversions" between most (or all) units or scales of temperature -- there should be some indication (somewhere) of Current or Common vs. Archaic, Abandoned or Obscure scales. Please improve. Thanks for your work HalFonts (talk) 22:29, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Your complaint and its remedy isn't clearly expressed. I have though added more obvious links to the sections on each scale. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:01, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
