The symbol t is to be used to designate aCelsius temperature, but if this symbol leads to a conflict in notation in a given context, it is acceptable to use the symbol

14、 T insteadto designate a Celsius temperature.5.1.5 The unit of Celsius temperature is the degree Celsius, symbol C. The degree Celsius is a derived SI unit. Note that thesymbol for the degree Celsius consists of the degree sign () followed by the capital letter C. Neither the degree sign nor the let

15、terC alone represents the degree Celsius. The Unicode value for the degree sign is 176 (00B0 in hexadecimal). The symbol may berepresented by the two separate Unicode characters, the degree sign () followed by the capital letter C. The Unicode character“C” with the value 8451 (2103 in hexadecimal) m

17、t any temperature, a temperature increment of one degree Celsius is equal to a temperature increment ofone kelvin.5.1.8 By definition, the Celsius temperature t = 0 C is the same as the thermodynamic temperature T = 273.15 K. The relationbetween numerical values associated with both expressions of a

18、 temperature is therefore given by:nc 5nk2273.15 (3)where:t = nc C is the same temperature as T = n k K.5.2 Practical Temperature Scales:5.2.1 Practical temperature scales have been established by international agreement for the practice of temperaturemeasurement.Among them are the International Pra

19、cticalTemperature Scale of 1968, the International PracticalTemperature Scaleof 1948, and the International Temperature Scale of 1927.35.2.1 Practical scales temperature scales have been established by international agreement for the practice of temperaturemeasurement. Practical scales are designed

20、so that a numerical value of temperature expressed on the scale is close to the numericalvalue of thermodynamic temperature. Because the KTTS is difficult to implement, the vast majority of temperature measurementsare based on a practical scale.5.2.2 There are two practical temperature scales now in

21、 use, superseding all others. The International Temperature Scale of19903 defines temperatures above 0.65 K. The Provisional Low-Temperature Scale from 0.9 mK to 1 K4 defines temperaturesbetween 0.0009 K and 1 K.5.2.3 Examples of previously used practical temperature scales are the International Pra

22、ctical Temperature Scale of 1968, theInternational Practical Temperature Scale of 1948, and the International Temperature Scale of 1927.55.2.4 A value of temperature on a practical temperature scale may be expressed either in kelvins or in degrees Celsius usingthe designations, symbols, and relation

Expression of Values of Temperature6.1 Temperature Scale Identification :6.1.1 It In a document containing temperature values, it is important that the temperature scale upon which those values oftemperature are expressed be identified in a document. identified. When reference to m

24、ore than one scale is made in a document,or when critical data are presented, scale identification is essential.6.1.2 Thermodynamic temperatures may be identified as such, or with reference to the KTTS. If values of temperature areexpressed on a practical temperature scale, the scale should be ident

25、ified. The identification may be an abbreviation, as defined inthe text of the scale; for example, the International Temperature Scale of 1990 is abbreviated ITS-90 and the ProvisionalLow-Temperature Scale from 0.9 mK to 1 K is abbreviated PLTS-2000.6.1.3 Scale identification may be placed in text,

26、in footnotes, in table headings, or in figures, as appropriate.6.1.4 A scale may also be identified by a subscript associated with a quantity symbol; for example, TTh and tTh forthermodynamic temperatures, T90 and t90 for temperature values on ITS-90, and T2000 for temperature values on PLTS-2000.5

29、42.E1594 1626.2 Numerical Format:6.2.1 Numerical values of temperature should be expressed as decimal numbers.6.3 Unit Symbol Format:6.3.1 The unit symbol should be separated from the numerical value by a single space. There should be no space between thedegree sign and the letter C. Punctuation is

30、not part of the unit symbol; only punctuation required by context or grammar shouldfollow the unit symbol.6.3.2 In an expression of a range of temperature values, the same unit symbol should be used with each value in the range; forexample: “over the temperature range 16 K to 50 K” or “any temperatu

31、re between 20 C and 30 C.” These examples can alsobe expressed as “over the temperature range (16 to 50) K” or “any temperature between (20 and 30) C” respectively.6.3.3 Multiple and submultiple prefixes should not normally be used with the unit for the expression of values of temperature,for temper

32、atures above 1 K. For temperatures below 1 K, a submultiple may be used. The preferred submultiple is 0.001 (prefix“milli,” symbol m).6.3.4 When a tolerance or uncertainty is associated with a value of temperature, both the value and the tolerance or uncertaintyshould be expressed with the same unit

33、. Unit prefixes should not normally be used. The unit symbol should follow each numericalvalue. For example:t90 560.0 C61.5 C (4)T90 5273.150 K60.001 K (5)6.3.5 When a tolerance or uncertainty is presented in a format not directly associated with a value of temperature, a unit prefixmay be used. The

34、 preferred submultiple is 0.001 (prefix “milli,” symbol m). For example, the uncertainty u of a temperature valuemay be expressed:ut90!50.7 mK (6)7. Expression of Temperature Differences, Intervals, and Increments7.1 Temperature differences, intervals, and increments are normally understood to be ex

35、pressed with reference to the sametemperature scale as are values of temperature, within a given context. Where there is a possibility of misunderstanding, thetemperature scale should be explicitly identified.7.2 A small temperature difference, interval, or increment may be expressed in terms of a s

36、ubmultiple of the appropriate unitof temperature. The use of unit prefixes to indicate submultiples should follow the guidelines in IEEE/ASTM SI-10. The preferredsubmultiple is 0.001 (prefix “milli,” symbol m).7.3 The magnitude of a temperature increment at a particular temperature is sometimes expr

37、essed as a relative fraction or apercentage of the numerical value (on a particular temperature scale) of the temperature. Such usage should be carefully explainedso that the expression is meaningful and unambiguous.7.4 When a tolerance or uncertainty is associated with the magnitude of a temperatur

38、e difference, interval, or increment, boththe magnitude and tolerance or uncertainty should be expressed in the same numerical format and with the same unit. Anappropriate unit prefix may be used (see 7.2). The resulting unit symbol should follow each numerical value in the expression. Forexample:t

For example, the preferred expressionfor heat capacity is joules per kelvin, JK1

40、 or J/K; for temperature gradient, kelvins per metre, Km 1 or K/m.8. Units Other Than SI8.1 Values of temperature are sometimes expressed in degrees Rankine, symbol R, instead of kelvins, or in degrees Fahrenheit,symbol F, instead of degrees Celsius. Neither the degree Rankine nor the degree Fahrenh

41、eit are part of the SI.8.2 At any temperature, a temperature increment of one degree Rankine is equal to a temperature increment of 5/9 kelvin. Therelation between numerical values associated with both expressions of a temperature is given by:nr 59nk /5 (9)where:T = nr R is the same temperature as T

42、 = nk K.E1594 1638.3 At any temperature, a temperature increment of one degree Fahrenheit is equal to a temperature increment of 5/9 degreeCelsius. The relation between numerical values associated with both expressions of a temperature is given by:nf 59nc /5132 (10)where:t = nfF is the same temperat

43、ure as t = nc C.8.4 From the relations in 5.1, 8.2, and 8.3, it follows that:8.4.1 At any temperature, a temperature increment of one degree Rankine is equal to a temperature increment of one degreeFahrenheit.8.4.2 If T = nr R and t = nf F are the same temperature, then the relation between the nume

44、rical values is given by:nr 5nf1459.67 (11)8.4.3 If a temperature interval expressed in degrees Rankine or degrees Fahrenheit has a magnitude n 1, and the sametemperature interval expressed in kelvins or degrees Celsius has a magnitude n2, then the relation between n1 and n2 is given by:n159n2/5 (12

45、)8.5 Both thermodynamic temperatures and values of temperature on a practical temperature scale may be expressed in degreesRankine or degrees Fahrenheit.
