Newton To Delisle

Newton to Delisle scale

The Newton temperature scale was defined by Isaac Newton in 1701 setting as 0 on this scale "the heat of air in winter at which water begins to freeze", or in other words, 0 as in Celsius scale, and the value 33 for "heat at which water begins to boil", so around 100 ℃, being exactly 100 the value commonly used for conversions between both scales. The Newton is represented as °N after the value.

The Delisle temperature scale was defined by Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in 1732. This measure adjust 0 at the point of the boiling water and 150 as the freezing point of the water. The unit is represented by °D (and sometimes as °De) after the value.

The Delisle degree values are calculated based on the formula $$(33 - Newton) × {50 \over 11}$$
