Freezing-point We generally mean by this expression that degree of Fahrenheit's thermometer which indicates the temperature of frozen water - viz. 32 above zero. If we mean any other liquid we add the name, as the freezing-point of milk, sulphuric ether, quicksilver, and so on. In Centigrade and Réaumur's instruments zero marks the freezing-point.
