Convert Reaumur to Reaumur
Reaumur
The Réaumur (°Ré) is a temperature scale in which the freezing point of water is defined as 0°Ré and the boiling point of water is 80°Ré, at standard atmospheric pressure. The scale divides the difference between the freezing and boiling points of water into 80 equal parts, with each degree representing an equal temperature interval.
The Réaumur scale was developed by the French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730. Réaumur created this scale based on the properties of water and the idea of dividing the temperature range between freezing and boiling points into 80 intervals, making it convenient for use in industries like brewing and metallurgy. The scale was once widely used in Europe, particularly in France, Germany, and parts of Russia. However, it was eventually supplanted by the Celsius scale, which became more universally adopted due to its simplicity and consistency with the metric system. Despite this, the Réaumur scale is still of historical interest and is sometimes used in specialized fields such as certain aspects of thermometry and scientific research.
