Why Convert Celsius to Delisle?
The Delisle scale was used in Russia for over a century, from the mid-1700s until the late 1800s. Russian meteorological records, scientific papers, and historical documents from this period use Delisle temperatures. Converting to this scale helps historians, researchers, and anyone studying Russian scientific history understand temperatures as they were originally recorded.
How the Conversion Works
The Delisle scale is inverted - higher Delisle values mean colder temperatures. The formula is °De = (100 - °C) × 1.5, which equals 150 - (°C × 1.5). The scale sets 0°De at water's boiling point (100°C) and counts upward as temperature decreases. Water freezes at 150°De (0°C).
When to Use This Converter
