| Kelvin (absolute temperature) |
| The temperature scale used in chemistry, physics and some engineering calculations. Zero degrees Kelvin (-273.15° centigrade) is the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases. To convert from Kelvin into centigrade subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temperature. |
| The temperature at which the volume of an ideal gas becomes zero; the theoretical coldest temperature that can be approached but never reached. |
