fahrenheit

A scale of temperature measurement used primarily in the United States. In today's computer industry, all electrical components have a range of temperature within which they operate. The Fahrenheit scale ranges from 32 to 212 degrees. As a quick reference without getting too technical, 32 is freezing and 212 is boiling. Most measurements worldwide and in the computer industry are in Celsius, except in the chip manufacturing process where Kelvin is used.
