FAQ

What is the Rankine temperature scale?

Rankine (°R) is an absolute temperature scale used in engineering, especially in the US. It starts at absolute zero like Kelvin but uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees. 0°R = −459.67°F = −273.15°C.

How do you convert Celsius to Rankine?

Add 273.15 to the Celsius value, then multiply by 9/5. For example: 100°C = (100 + 273.15) × 9/5 = 671.67°R.

When is the Rankine scale used?

Rankine is used in thermodynamic engineering in the US, particularly in HVAC, aerospace, and chemical engineering where absolute temperatures in Fahrenheit-based units are needed.
