A temperature scale that is consistent with all the known laws of thermodynamics is termed a thermodynamic temperature scale. In practice, a well-understood thermodynamic system, such as an ideal gas, is prepared in the laboratory such that its thermodynamic temperature can be predicted from other known properties. Laboratory thermometers can then be calibrated at this thermodynamic temperature. The International Temperature Scale of 1990 is an approximation to the thermodynamic temperature scale. 2, record 1, English, - thermodynamic%20scale%20of%20temperature
