Which group of people most often use Kelvin scale?

Answer 1

Yes, the Kelvin scale is very widely used in the sciences because it provides an absolute temperature scale as opposed to the relative scales like Celsius and Fahrenheit. In the world of cryogenics, particularly that of the really low temperatures, those nearer absolute zero, we see the Kelvin scale used frequently. To cite a single example, it is easier to talk about the boiling point of helium being 4.22 K rather than −268.93 °C, or −452.07 °F.

Answer 2

No country or region specifically. Kelvin scale has been adopted as the international standard for scientific temperature measurement. Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale. I turns out it is much easier for scientists when they are working with many physical laws and formulas.

Answer 3

The Kelvin scale is used most in science, especially in thermodynamics (physics and chemistry), astronomy/cosmology/astrophysics, semiconductor technology, rare materials studies. Most often Kelvin is used on extremes - either below -400oF and above 3000oF; these are extreme temperatures that occur rarely so using Kelvin in daily vernacular, instead of F or C, is rare. Example: space away from Earth is considered to be 2.725 K, the energy of the echoes of the Big Bang. Yes, even empty space has a minute amount of temperature. One of the layers of the Sun has a temperature of about 5700K.

Answer 4

It is the incriment for temperature in the SI base units of measure. However, Fahrenheit and Celsius are much more commonly used then Kelvin.

The Kelvin scale is used in the scientific community. The Kelvin scale is defined in such a way that absolute zero = zero Kelvin. Therefore, there are no negative temperatures in the Kelvin scale.

Second answer

Kelvin is used in science because it has a better scale. One unit in Kelvin is the same as one unit in Celsius. The scale for Celsius does not start at the lowest possible temperature but almost 300 degrees above the lowest possible temperature. At the time that Celsius was created it was not known that low temperatures had a limit.

One analogy would be to have a weight scale where 110 pounds is equal to zero. We'll give it the name lady. So if a woman weights 110 pounds we are going say she weighs zero ladies. If a woman weighs 130 pounds we'll say she weighs 20 ladies. If a woman weighs 90 pounds we'll say she weighs -20 ladies. The better scale, which we use, starts at -110 ladies also known as zero pounds.

To find the bottom of the temperature scale we take an object at a known temperature. We keep lowering the temperature using a heat pump. As the temperature goes down it becomes harder and harder to lower the temperature. By following the curve we see that there will be a point where we can no longer lower the temperature. This we call absolute zero. Now we can create a new scale called Kelvin that starts at the lowest possible temperature. The Celsius is a shifted scale which has it limits.

Anytime you do science in low temperatures or extreme temperatures you will prefer to use Kelvin.

Answer 5

People who want to use constants that don't contain units for temperature in an equation.

Answer 6

The most people that use kelvin scales are RUSSIAN and FRENCH of 19th-century
