Kelvin to degrees Rankine converter
Degrees Rankine (°R)
1 kelvin = 1.8 degrees Rankine
How to convert kelvin to degrees Rankine
°R = K × 9/5
Temperature scales have different zero points, so this is not a simple multiplication. Take the value in kelvin, multiply by 9/5 to get degrees Rankine.
Worked examples
- Convert 0 kelvin: apply the formula above with K = 0, giving 0 degrees Rankine.
- Convert 37 kelvin: apply the formula above with K = 37, giving 66.6 degrees Rankine.
- Convert 100 kelvin: apply the formula above with K = 100, giving 180 degrees Rankine.
