Fahrenheit to Kelvin Conversion

How to convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin

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

T_K - 273.15 = (T_^oF - 32)/1.8

Alternatively, it can also be written as:

T_K = (T_^oF - 32)/1.8 + 273.15

Example

To convert 302 Fahrenheit into Kelvin, the above formula can be used:

((302 ^oF) - 32)/1.8 + 273.15 = 423.15 K

Fahrenheit

The degree Fahrenheit is a unit of temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. The degree Fahrenheit symbol is ^oF. The Fahrenheit scale is usually defined by two fixed points: the temperature at which pure water freezes into ice is defined as 32 ^oF and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 ^oF, both at sea level and under standard atmospheric pressure (a 180 ^oF separation).

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.
