In laboratories working with cryogenics, superconductors or superfluids, as well as any place
where routine daily activities involve very cold equipment, such as MRI facilities and Prudhoe Bay.

The unit of measurement kelvin is used in the scientific fields to measure temperature. It is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI) and is commonly used in physics, chemistry, and other scientific disciplines.
No, "Kalvin" is not a standard metric unit of measurement. The Kelvin (with an "e") is the unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI).
Enthalpy is the measurement of heat, Joule (J) is the unit. Temperature is not a measurement of heat. Temperature has the unit Kelvin (K) or Celsius (oC)
According to the International System of Units (SI), Kelvin (K) is the base unit of thermodynamic temperature measurement.
The measurement of heat is typically done in units of energy, such as joules or calories. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit for heat is the joule. Heat energy can also be measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) in some contexts.
The basic unit is Kelvin but you are more likely to use a Celsius degree. The measurement unit is the same but, whereas the Kelvin scale is absolute (it has a meaningful 0 point), the 0 on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.
