Converting from Celsius (°C) to Rankine (°R) | Temperature

What is Celsius (°C)

Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature in the metric system commonly used worldwide. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C under standard atmospheric pressure.

What is Rankine (°R)

Rankine (°R) is a thermodynamic temperature scale named after the Scottish engineer William Rankine. It is based on the Fahrenheit degree but uses absolute zero as 0°R, which is equivalent to -459.67°F.

Conversion Formulas

To convert Celsius to Rankine, you can use the formula:

°R=(°C+273.15)∗1.8

And to convert Rankine to Celsius, you can use:

°C=(°R−491.67)/1.8

Examples

• 6°C is equal to 502.47°R:

6°C=(6+273.15)∗1.8=502.47°R

• 10°C is equal to 509.67°R:

10°C=(10+273.15)∗1.8=509.67°R

• 16°C is equal to 520.47°R:

16°C=(16+273.15)∗1.8=520.47°R

• 6°R is equal to -269.8167°C:

6°R=(6−491.67)/1.8=−269.8167°C

• 10°R is equal to -267.5944°C:

10°R=(10−491.67)/1.8=−267.5944°C

• 16°R is equal to -264.2611°C:

16°R=(16−491.67)/1.8=−264.2611°C
