Converting from Fahrenheit (°F) to Kelvin (K) | Temperature

What is Fahrenheit (°F)

Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale commonly used in the United States. It is based on the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point of water at 212°F. In this scale, the temperature increases as the value in degrees rises.

What is Kelvin (K)

Kelvin (K) is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion ceases. Kelvin is commonly used in scientific applications due to its absolute nature, making it useful for calculations involving temperature.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Fahrenheit to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:

K=(F−32)×95​+273.15

To convert from Kelvin to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula:

F=(K−273.15)×59​+32

Examples

• Converting 12°F to Kelvin:

K=(12−32)×95​+273.15=262.0389K

• Converting 4°F to Kelvin:

K=(4−32)×95​+273.15=257.5944K

• Converting 9K to Fahrenheit:

F=(9−273.15)×59​+32=−443.47°F

• Converting 12K to Fahrenheit: F=(12−273.15)×59​+32=−438.07°F
