Converting from Réaumur (°Ré) to Newton (°N) | Temperature

What is Réaumur (°Ré)

Réaumur is a temperature scale developed by René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730. On the Réaumur scale, water freezes at 0°Ré and boils at 80°Ré. It is mainly used in historical contexts and is not commonly used today.

What is Newton (°N)

Newton is another historical temperature scale proposed by Sir Isaac Newton. On the Newton scale, water freezes at 0°N and boils at 33°N. Similar to Réaumur, the Newton scale is not widely used in modern applications.

Conversion Formulas

The formulas for converting temperatures from Réaumur to Newton and vice versa are as follows:

• To convert from Réaumur (°Ré) to Newton (°N):

°N=0.4125×°Ré

• To convert from Newton (°N) to Réaumur (°Ré):

°Ré=2.424242×°N

Examples

1. Converting 8°Ré to °N:

°N=0.4125×8=3.3

2. Converting 5°Ré to °N:

°N=0.4125×5=2.0625

3. Converting 11°N to °Ré:

°Ré=2.424242×11=26.66667
