Celsius to Rankine Conversion

How to convert Celsius to Rankine

The relationship between temperature in Celsius (T_^oC) and temperature in Rankine (T_^oR) is given below:

T_^oC = T_^oR/1.8 - 273.15

Alternatively, it can also be written as:

T_^oC = (T_^oR - 491.67)/1.8

T_^oR = (9/5)×T_^oC + 491.67

Example

To convert 100 Celsius into Rankine, the above formula can be used:

(9/5)×(100 ^oC) + 491.67 = 671.67 ^oR

Celsius

The degree Celsius is a unit of temperature on the Celsius scale. The degree Celsius (symbol: ^oC) refers to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale or a unit to indicate a difference between two temperatures. Since 1743 the Celsius scale has been based on 0 ^oC for the freezing point of water and 100 ^oC for the boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure.

Rankine

The Rankine is a unit of temperature on the Rankine scale. The symbol for degrees Rankine are ^oR or ^oRa. It is just like the Kelvin scale, where Zero on the Rankine scales is absolute zero, but a temperature difference of one Rankine degree is defined as equal to one Fahrenheit degree, rather than the Celsius degree used on the Kelvin scale. On the Rankine scale, pure water freezes at 491.67 ^oR, and it boils at 671.67 ^oR.
