萊頓溫標

萊頓標度 (°L) 在20世紀初通過提供氦蒸氣壓的常規值來校準低溫間接測量值。

萊頓標度可在-183°C以下使用，這也是1930年代國際溫標的起點（Awbery 1934）。

 « It should be mentioned that below -183°C, the Leiden workers do not entirely agree with some of the other cryogenic laboratories, but use a scale of their own, generally known as the Leiden scale. » (emphasis added)
