Initial Temperature Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Initial Temperature is:

\[ IT = FT - dT \]

Where:

\(IT\) is the Initial Temperature (°C or °F)
\(FT\) is the final temperature (°C or °F)
\(dT\) is the change in temperature (°C or °F)

What is Initial Temperature?

Initial Temperature is the temperature of a substance before any changes have occurred. It is calculated by subtracting the change in temperature from the final temperature. This metric is useful in various scientific and engineering applications to understand the starting conditions of a system.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Final Temperature (FT) = 100 °C
Change in Temperature (dT) = 20 °C

Using the formula:

\[ IT = 100 - 20 = 80 \text{ °C} \]

The Initial Temperature is 80 °C.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Final Temperature (FT) = 212 °F
Change in Temperature (dT) = 32 °F

Using the formula:

\[ IT = 212 - 32 = 180 \text{ °F} \]

The Initial Temperature is 180 °F.
