- Temperature scale - Consisting of a hundred degrees; graduated into a
hundred divisions or equal parts. - Of or pertaining to the centigrade thermometer; as, 10¡

- Temperature gauge - Temperature scale - Conforming to the scale used by Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit in the graduation of his thermometer; of or relating to

- A certain property of a body, expressed as a measurable
quantity, such that when there is no communication of heat the quantity
remains constant, but when heat enters or leaves the body the quantity
increases or diminishes. If a small amount, h, of heat enters the body
when its temperature is t in the thermodynamic scale the entropy of the
body is increased by h / t. The entropy is regarded as measured from
some standard temperature and pressure. Sometimes called the
thermodynamic function.
