Kelvin to Rankine Conversion

How to convert Kelvin to Rankine

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

T_K = T_^oR/1.8

Alternatively, it can also be written as:

T_^oR = T_K×1.8

Example

To convert 300 Kelvin into Rankine, the above formula can be used:

(300 K)×1.8 = 540 ^oR

Kelvin

The Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI), having the unit symbol K. It uses absolute zero as its null point. On the Kelvin scale, pure water freezes at 273.15 K, and it boils at 373.15 K.

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.
