Rankine To Kelvin (°R to K) Converter

A Rankine To Kelvin Converter is a tool that translates temperature measurements from Rankine (°R) to Kelvin (K). This conversion is essential in certain scientific and engineering fields, where both absolute temperature scales are used. Given that both scales start at absolute zero, converting Rankine to Kelvin involves a simple multiplication. This tool ensures accurate temperature conversions for specialized applications.

This conversion is particularly vital in:

• Thermodynamics: For calculations and analyses that require absolute temperature measurements in both scales.
• Engineering Applications: In fields like mechanical and aerospace engineering, where both Rankine and Kelvin are sometimes used.
• Scientific Research: For specialized experiments and analyses that require temperature data in both Rankine and Kelvin.
• General Measurement: For understanding and working with temperatures in Kelvin when starting with Rankine.

The conversion from Rankine to Kelvin is performed using the following formula:

°R × 5/9 = K

Or equivalently:

°R × 0.555556 = K

For example, to convert 491.67 °R to Kelvin:

491.67 × 5/9 = 273.15 K

Another example, converting 540 °R:

540 × 5/9 = 300 K
