Adrian asked in USMA 23762:
Since the Kelvin is not designated as a "degree" anymore, can it be
used with multiples and submultipes like all other units? Ex:
kilokelvin
I think that this was the intention of the BIPM when they removed
the appelative "degree".
Adrian
That seems reasonable. The 13th CGPM decided in 1967-1968
�1. The unit of thermodynamic temperature is denoted by the name
�kelvin� and its symbol is �K�;
�2. the same name and the same symbol are used to express a
temperature interval.��
