(05 Mar 2000) |
| centigrade scale | A thermometer scale in which there are 100 degrees between the freezing point of water (assigned the value of 0.0캜) and the boiling point of water at sea level; technically, supplanted by the Celsius scale. Compare: Celsius scale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Charriere scale | A scale for grading sizes of sounds, tubules, and catheters as based on a measurement of 1/3 mm and equaling 1 fr on the scale (e.g., 3 fr = 1 mm); grading to scale is carried out using a metal plate with holes ranging from 1/3 mm to 1 cm in diameter. Synonym: Charriere scale. (05 Mar 2000) |
