  2. Gas mark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_mark

    Gas mark 1 is 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius). [citation needed] Oven temperatures increase by 25 °F (14 °C) for each gas mark step. Above Gas Mark 1, the scale markings increase by one for each step. Below Gas Mark 1, the scale markings halve at each step, each representing a decrease of 25 °F (14 °C).

    Loose tomatoes for sale at a UK greengrocer in 2013, dual-priced in imperial (£0.99 /lb) and metric (£2.18 /kg) units. Signs like these do not comply with legislation, as metric prices must not be less prominent. [1] [2] Metrication is the act or process of converting to the metric system of measurement.

  4. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval (a difference between two temperatures). From 1744 until 1954, 0 °C was defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water, both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere .

    Gas Mark is a temperature scale, predominantly found on British ovens, that scales linearly with temperature above 135 °C (Gas Mark 1) and scales with the log of Celsius below 135 °C. Demography and epidemiology

  6. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...

  7. Standard temperature and pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_temperature_and...

    Technical literature can be confusing because many authors fail to explain whether they are using the ideal gas constant R, or the specific gas constant R s. The relationship between the two constants is R s = R / m, where m is the molecular mass of the gas. The US Standard Atmosphere (USSA) uses 8.31432 m 3 ·Pa/(mol·K) as the value of R.

  8. Delisle scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delisle_scale

    Joseph-Nicolas Delisle. The Delisle scale is a temperature scale invented in 1732 by the French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle (1688–1768). [1] The Delisle scale is notable as one of the few temperature scales that are inverted from the amount of thermal energy they measure; unlike most other temperature scales, higher measurements in degrees Delisle are colder, while lower measurements ...

  9. Codd-neck bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codd-neck_bottle

    The bottles are filled upside down, and pressure of the gas in the bottle forces the marble against the washer, sealing in the carbonation. This use of pressure to aid in containment can be seen in other types of check valve. The bottle is pinched into a special shape to provide a chamber into which the marble is pushed to open the bottle.
