Rankine to Kelvin Conversion
How to convert Rankine to Kelvin
The relationship between temperature in Rankine (ToR) and temperature in Kelvin (TK) is given below:
ToR = TK×1.8
Alternatively, it can also be written as:
TK = ToR/1.8
Example
To convert 540 Rankine into Kelvin, the above formula can be used:
(540 oR)/1.8 = 300 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.
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.
