Absolute scale
An absolute scale is a system of measurement that begins at a minimum, or zero point, and progresses in only one direction.

Réaumur scale
The Réaumur scale (°Ré, °Re, °r), also known as the "octogesimal division", is a temperature scale for which the freezing and boiling points of water are defined as 0 and 80 degrees respectively.
