Kelvin (K) to Rankine (°R) converter

Converting from Kelvin (K) to Rankine (°R) | Temperature

What is Kelvin (K)

Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined based on the triple point of water, where 0 K is absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible.

What is Rankine (°R)

Rankine (°R) is a temperature scale that uses the same increments as Fahrenheit degrees, but 0 °R is absolute zero, just like in the Kelvin scale.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Kelvin (K) and Rankine (°R) can be done using the following formulas:

  • To convert from Kelvin to Rankine:

°R=K×1.8

  • To convert from Rankine to Kelvin:

K=°R×0.5555556

Examples

  1. When converting 10 K to Rankine:

10K=10×1.8=18°R

  1. When converting 8 K to Rankine:

8K=8×1.8=14.4°R

  1. When converting 6 °R to Kelvin:

R=6×0.5555556=3.333333K

Conclusion

Use these conversion formulas to easily convert temperatures between Kelvin (K) and Rankine (°R) for various scientific calculations and applications.
