Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula?
The formula is °C = (°R × 5/9) − 273.15. Multiply Rankine by 5/9 to reach Kelvin, then subtract 273.15.
Is 0°R the same as 0 K?
Yes. Both represent absolute zero (-273.15°C), the point where all molecular motion stops.
Where might I encounter Rankine?
In some US engineering textbooks, aerospace and mechanical work, and older thermodynamics problems using customary units.
How does Rankine relate to Fahrenheit?
Rankine is to Fahrenheit what Kelvin is to Celsius: same degree size, but Rankine starts at absolute zero.
