Rankine (°R) to Fahrenheit (°F) converter

Converting from Rankine (°R) to Fahrenheit (°F) | Temperature

What is Rankine (°R)

Rankine (°R) is a temperature scale named after the Scottish engineer William Rankine. Rankine scale uses absolute zero as its absolute point, which means 0°R equals absolute zero.

What is Fahrenheit (°F)

Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature scale commonly used in the United States and a few other countries. It's based on the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point of water at 212°F.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Rankine (°R) to Fahrenheit (°F), you can use the following formula:

°F=°R−459.67

To convert from Fahrenheit (°F) to Rankine (°R), you can use the formula:

°R=°F+459.67

Examples

1. Converting 5 °R to °F: 5°R=5−459.67=−454.67°F

2. Converting 16 °F to °R: 16°F=16+459.67=475.67°R

3. Converting 14 °R to °F: 14°R=14−459.67=−445.67°F

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between Rankine and Fahrenheit temperatures.
