The Kelvin and temperature measurements by Saunders, R.D. / Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Since a point on any temperature scale only approximates the thermodynamic temperature at which a physical even such as the melting of gold occurs, ever-more-precise data pertaining to such phenomena allow scientists to calibrate their scales with less uncertainty.
