Chapter 2. Temperature and pressure measurements
Several types of temperature and pressure measurements are used during
discussions of thermodynamics. Operators must recognize the different types and
their interrelationships in order to understand thermodynamics.
1.3 DEFINE the thermodynamic properties temperature
and pressure
1.4 DESCRIBE the Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin, and
Rankine temperature scales including:
- Absolute zero temperature
- The freezing point of water at atmospheric pressure
- The boiling point of water at atmospheric pressure
1.5 CONVERT temperatures between the Fahrenheit,
Celsius, Kelvin, and Rankine scales.
1.6 DESCRIBE the relationship between absolute
pressure, gauge pressure, and vacuum.
1.7 CONVERT pressures between the following units:
- Pounds per square inch
- Inches of water
- Inches of mercury
- Millimeters of mercury
- Microns of mercury
