| Fahrenheit s. |
a temperature scale, obsolescent but still commonly, unofficially used in the United States, in which the interval between Fahrenheit's two original fixed points, which are the lowest temperature attainable by a freezing mixture of ice and salt (0°) and the normal temperature of the human body (96° originally), is divided into 96 degrees (96 having 10 factors besides itself and 1); fresh water freezes at about 32° and boils at about 212° under average atmospheric pressure. See also Celsius s. and Appendix 12 for Celsius-Fahrenheit, Fahrenheit-Celsius equivalents.
