Kelvin to Delisle Converter

About Kelvin (K) and Delisle (°D) Units

Kelvin (K) is the standard temperature unit used in science, physics, and engineering to measure absolute temperature. Unlike Celsius and Fahrenheit, Kelvin starts at absolute zero (0 K), which is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. Kelvin does not use the degree symbol. For example, 0°C equals 273.15 K, and room temperature is about 298 K. It is widely used in laboratories, space science, thermodynamics, and any field that requires precise temperature measurements. The Delisle scale (°De), created in 1732 by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle, is a historical temperature system. Unlike modern scales, it sets the boiling point of water at 0°De and the freezing point at 150°De. This scale was mainly used in Russia and parts of Europe for early meteorological observations and scientific measurements. Although no longer used today, Delisle remains of interest for historical studies and temperature conversions.
