Rankine to Fahrenheit
Rankine and Fahrenheit are both used to measure temperature, however rankine is used more industrially and is similar to the kelvin. Zero on the Rankine and Kelvin scale both signify absolute zero for all thermal activity. Fahrenheit is a more commercial unit that people use everyday. Degrees Fahrenheit is favoured in the United States over Celsius.
Convert degrees Rankine to degrees Fahrenheit with this simple formula:
degrees Fahrenheit = [°R] - 459.67
Insert the [°R] temperature measurement in the formula and then solve to find the result.
For example
let's convert 50 °R to degrees Fahrenheit:
50 °R = ( 50 - 459.67 ) = -409.67 °F
The Rankine scale and the Fahrenheit scale are both used to measure temperature. Read on to learn more about each of them.
Rankine
The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale that uses absolute zero as the starting point, much like the Kelvin scale. The key difference between the Rankine scale and the Kelvin scale is that an increment of one degree rankine is equal to an increment of one degree Fahrenheit, not Celsius as in the Kelvin scale. The base of the Rankine scale starts at absolute zero, thus 0 degrees rankine are equal to −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rankine can be abbreviated as R, and are also sometimes abbreviated as Ra. For example, 1 degree Rankine can be written as 1 °R or 1 Ra.
Important Temperatures In Degrees Rankine
| Temperature | Degrees Rankine |
|---|---|
| Absolute Zero | 0 °R |
| Freezing Point of Water | 491.67 °R |
| Triple Point of Water | 491.688 °R |
| Boiling Point of Water | 671.67 °R |
Fahrenheit
The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that defines the melting point of water as 32 degrees and the boiling point of water at 212 degrees.[1] There are 180 intervals between 32 °F and 212 °F, each corresponding to one degree.
The degree Fahrenheit is a US customary and imperial unit of temperature. Fahrenheit can be abbreviated as F; for example, 1 degree Fahrenheit can be written as 1 °F.
