Converting from Réaumur (°Ré) to Kelvin (K) in Temperature

What is Réaumur (°Ré)

Réaumur (°Ré) is a temperature scale where the freezing point of water is 0°Ré and the boiling point is 80°Ré. The unit is named after René-Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur, a French scientist who developed this scale in the 18th century.

What is Kelvin (K)

Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is equivalent to absolute zero, the lowest theoretically possible temperature. Kelvin is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between Réaumur (°Ré) and Kelvin (K) are as follows:

K=(45​)∗(°Ré)+273.15

°Ré=(54​)∗(K)−217.72

Examples

1. Converting 8 °Ré to Kelvin (K):

K=(45​)∗8+273.15

K=10+273.15=283.15

2. Converting 12 K to Réaumur (°Ré):

°Ré=(54​)∗12−217.72

°Ré=9.6−217.72=−208.92

3. Converting 15 °Ré to Kelvin (K):

K=(45​)∗15+273.15

K=18.75+273.15=291.9
