Coating Temperatures: Convert Absolute Values and Temperature Differences Correctly
Converting a temperature and converting a temperature change require different formulas. Keep the distinction clear when comparing product instructions or laboratory exposure records.
Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge
The key distinction
For an absolute value, Fahrenheit equals Celsius multiplied by 1.8, plus 32. For a temperature difference, multiply the Celsius difference by 1.8 without adding 32.
Practical checks
- Identify whether the entry is a temperature or a change.
- Apply the appropriate conversion.
- Preserve the original unit in the technical record.
Example
Arithmetic example: 20 degrees Celsius equals 68 degrees Fahrenheit. A rise of ten degrees Celsius equals a rise of eighteen degrees Fahrenheit, not fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
Scope and limits
These calculations do not establish an application or storage range. Follow the exact product's current limits, and ask the supplier to resolve inconsistent instructions instead of choosing the more convenient interpretation.

Pressure Units in Coating Test Reports: Convert bar and psi Without Changing the Test
A pressure value must retain its unit and measurement context. One bar is approximately 14.504 psi, but a correct conversion does not make two different test arrangements equivalent.
