Triple point of water to Celsius Converter
Use this page to convert triple point of water values into celsius, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.
Conversion formula
This conversion uses an offset formula rather than a single multiplier because the temperature scales start from different zero points.
TPW to deg C: Apply the scale formula and then add or remove the required offset.
Example: 25 TPW = 6,555.85 deg C
Triple point of water
One triple point of water unit is represented here as 273.16 kelvin.
History: The triple point of water was long used as a precise thermodynamic reference point.
Current use: It is mainly useful in scientific reference, calibration history, and thermodynamic conversions.
Also written as TPW.
Celsius
The Celsius scale places water freezing at 0 and boiling at 100 under standard atmospheric pressure.
History: The scale evolved from the work of Anders Celsius and later refinements.
Current use: Celsius is the default temperature scale for weather and daily life in most countries.
Also written as deg C, °C, C, degC, degree C, degrees C, degree Celsius, degrees Celsius, centigrade.
