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.
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.
How to Convert Rankine to Kelvin
Use the specific offset and ratio for Rankine to Kelvin.
K = f(°R)Manual Calculation Steps
Step 1: Identify the Formula
