For temperature differences, "kelvin degree(s)" and "Celsius degree(s)" are equally acceptable in contrast with *positions* on a temperature scale with respect to conventional points of reference. e.g. absolute zero, freezing point of water, triple point of water, boiling point of water (at a specified pressure).
