For scientific calculations, room temperature is

usually taken to be 20 or​ 25 degrees ​Celsius​,​ (293

or ​298 ​kelvin​ (K), ​68 or 77 degrees
Fahrenheit​).[​citation needed​] For numerical
convenience, 300.00 K (26.85 °C, 80.33 °F) is often
used.[​citation needed​] However, room temperature
is not a uniformly defined scientific term as opposed
to ​Standard Temperature and Pressure​, which has
several, slightly different, definitions.

According to the ​American Society for Testing and

Materials​(ASTM), "Room temperature shall be
considered to be 50 °F to 100 °F [10 to 38 °C]
unless otherwise specified."[​citation needed​]

[​edit​] Ambient versus room temperature

Room temperature implies a temperature inside a
temperature-controlled building. Ambient
temperature simply means "the temperature of the
surroundings" and will be the same as room
temperature
