240C

240C denotes a temperature of 240 degrees Celsius on the Celsius scale. The Celsius scale places 0°C at the freezing point of water and 100°C at the boiling point of water under standard atmospheric conditions. 240°C corresponds to 464°F and 513.15 K.

In cooking, 240°C is a common oven setting for roasting and baking foods that require high heat to brown and crust, such as poultry, vegetables, and certain pastries. In kitchens, temperatures in the 230–250°C range are frequently used depending on the recipe and equipment.

In industrial and manufacturing contexts, temperatures around 240°C may be used for drying, curing, heat treatment, or processing plastics and coatings. The specific applications depend on the material, process, and safety considerations, with appropriate equipment and controls required at high temperatures.

Notes on notation: the string "240C" is most often read as 240 degrees Celsius, but it can also appear in contexts unrelated to temperature, such as model numbers or product codes. Without additional context, the meaning of the designation can be ambiguous.
