Converting from Kelvin (K) to Rømer (°Rø) | Temperature

What is Kelvin (K)

Kelvin (K) is a unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is based on the absolute scale where 0 K is absolute zero, the lowest possible temperature. Kelvin is commonly used in scientific contexts and is equivalent to the Celsius scale with the same size degree but starting from absolute zero.

What is Rømer (°Rø)

Rømer (°Rø) is an obsolete temperature scale devised by Ole Christensen Rømer in the late 17th century. On the Rømer scale, water freezes at 0 °Rø and boils at 60 °Rø. This scale is not commonly used today but provides an interesting historical perspective on temperature measurement.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Kelvin (K) to Rømer (°Rø), you can use the following formulas:

K to °Rø: T(°Rø)=(T(K)×−1.8)−135.3788

°Rø to K: T(K)=(T(°Rø)+135.3788)÷−1.8

Examples

1. Converting 14 K to °Rø: 14 K=14×−1.8−135.3788=−128.5538 °Rø

2. Converting 8 °Rø to K: 8 °Rø=(8+135.3788)÷−1.8=274.1024 K

These examples illustrate how to perform conversions between Kelvin and Rømer temperatures using the provided formulas.
