Convert Kelvin to Rankine
Instantly convert Kelvin to Rankine with our advanced Temperature calculator. Whether you need precise calculations for Kelvin or Rankine, this tool provides accurate results with related formulas and conversion tables.
What is a Kelvin?
The Kelvin (K) is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). Zero Kelvin (0 K) is absolute zero.
What is a Rankine?
The Rankine (°R) scale is an absolute scale of thermodynamic temperature based on the Fahrenheit scale. Zero Rankine is absolute zero.
How to Convert Kelvin to Rankine
Use the specific offset and ratio for Kelvin to Rankine.
°R = f(K)Manual Calculation Steps
Step 1: Identify the Formula
The standard formula to convert from Kelvin to Rankine is:
°R = f(K)Step 2: Plug in the Value
Substitute the value you want to convert (for example, 5 K) into the formula.
Step 3: Calculate the Result
Perform the calculation to get the result in Rankine.
