Delisle (°De)
Definition
Delisle (°De) is an inverted temperature scale where 0°De equals the boiling point of water and 150°De equals the freezing point. Higher values indicate colder temperatures.
History
The Delisle scale was invented in 1732 by Joseph-Nicolas Delisle, a French astronomer. It was used in Russia for nearly a century before being replaced by the Celsius and Réaumur scales.
Current use
The Delisle scale is no longer used in everyday practice. It appears in historical scientific literature and is of interest in the study of the history of thermometry and temperature measurement.
Newton (°N)
Definition
Newton (°N) is a temperature scale where 0°N equals the freezing point of water and 33°N equals the boiling point of water.
History
The Newton scale was devised around 1700 by Sir Isaac Newton. It was one of the earliest attempts to create a standardized temperature scale and predates both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Current use
The Newton temperature scale is not used in any modern practical application. It is studied in the history of science and thermometry as an early example of temperature standardization.
