What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms temperature values from the historical Reaumur scale (°r), which defines freezing and boiling points of water differently, to the triple point of water, a fixed thermodynamic standard used in temperature calibration and metrology.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the temperature value in Reaumur [°r] into the input field
  • Select 'Reaumur [°r]' as the source unit
  • Choose 'Triple point of water' as the target unit
  • Click the convert button to see the temperature expressed in triple point of water units

Key Features

  • Converts historical temperature values measured in Reaumur to the internationally recognized triple point of water standard
  • Provides accurate conversion rates based on established temperature definitions
  • Supports calibration, research, and scientific applications requiring traceability to fundamental temperature points
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick temperature conversions

Examples

  • Converting 10 Reaumur results in 0.045760726 triple point of water units
  • Converting 50 Reaumur yields 0.22880363 triple point of water units

Common Use Cases

  • Interpreting historical meteorological or scientific temperature records reported in Reaumur
  • Calibrating or reading antique thermometers or laboratory instruments marked in Reaumur
  • Converting traditional or legacy industrial process temperatures to precise metrology standards
  • Relating historical temperature data to the internationally defined triple point of water for research or calibration purposes

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always confirm the context when working with Reaumur temperatures due to its historical usage
  • Use the triple point of water value for high-precision thermometer calibration or standards verification
  • Use this conversion tool primarily for scientific, metrological, or industrial calibration applications

Limitations

  • Réaumur is a historical scale and rarely applied in contemporary temperature measurement
  • Conversions are mainly relevant in calibration contexts rather than everyday temperature readings
  • Triple point of water is a fixed standard and not a general measurement scale, limiting conversion scope

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Réaumur temperature scale?
The Réaumur scale is a historical temperature scale with 0° set at water's freezing point and 80° at boiling, used mainly in older scientific and meteorological contexts.

Why convert Reaumur to the triple point of water?
This conversion is useful for calibrating instruments and relating historical temperature data to a precise, internationally recognized thermodynamic standard.

Is the triple point of water used for everyday temperature measurement?
No, the triple point of water serves as a fixed standard mainly for calibration and definition of temperature units in metrology.

Key Terminology

Réaumur Scale
A historical temperature scale with 0°Ré as the freezing point and 80°Ré as the boiling point of water under standard pressure.
Triple Point of Water
The unique condition where water's solid, liquid, and vapor phases coexist at exactly 273.16 K and 611.657 pascals, used as a fixed temperature standard.
