Fultonian

The Fultonian is a temperature scale used mainly in scientific settings, defined by the melting point of pure water at standard atmospheric pressure. On this scale, water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees, similar to Celsius. It was developed for precise measurement and calibration in laboratories, providing an accurate reference for temperature comparisons. While not common in everyday use, understanding the Fultonian scale is useful in scientific contexts where exact temperature measurement and standardization are important.
