#temperature

Type-K thermocouple temperature/voltage conversion as an API, computed locally and deterministically from the official NIST ITS-90 reference functions. The voltage endpoint converts a junction temperature in °C to the thermo-electromotive force in millivolts using the NIST type-K direct polynomial (with its Gaussian correction term above 0 °C), and performs cold-junction compensation by subtracting the reference-junction EMF, so a hot junction at 200 °C against a 25 °C terminal block gives the EMF your meter actually reads; a type-K junction produces 4.096 mV at 100 °C and 41.276 mV at 1000 °C against a 0 °C reference. The temperature endpoint does the inverse: it takes the measured EMF in millivolts and the reference-junction temperature, refers the reading back to 0 °C by adding the cold-junction EMF, and returns the hot-junction temperature in °C and K — obtained by numerically inverting the same monotonic forward polynomial, so it is exactly consistent with the forward conversion. Type K (chromel–alumel) covers −270 to 1372 °C. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for industrial-automation, process-control, data-acquisition, IoT-sensor, furnace and lab-instrument app developers, sensor-linearization and cold-junction-compensation tools, and embedded firmware. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 2 endpoints. This is the type-K thermocouple; for resistance-temperature detectors use an RTD/PT100 API.

Real-time and forecast ocean conditions for any coastal or open-water location. Get the current sea-surface temperature (in °C and °F) together with a wave snapshot — height, direction, period, swell and wind-wave — pull an hourly series of temperature and waves, or a daily forecast with sea-temperature min/avg/max and wave aggregates. Global ocean coverage sourced from Open-Meteo’s Marine model, delivered through a fast, reliable API; inland coordinates return a clear not-found so you always know you have ocean data. Ideal for surf and sailing apps, fishing and diving, beach and tourism services, shipping and coastal or climate monitoring.

Fast, deterministic unit conversion across 10 categories — length, mass, temperature, area, volume, speed, time, digital storage, pressure and energy. Convert any value between compatible units and list the full unit catalog per category. Fully local compute (no third-party upstream), so responses are instant and always available. Ideal for calculators, e-commerce, logistics, engineering tools, dashboards and chatbots.
