What this temperature conversion is for

Use this page when a measurement is written in degrees Rankine and the next step needs degrees Fahrenheit. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.

The factor

Change degree Rankine to Celsius first, then into degree Fahrenheit. Celsius and kelvin use the same size step. Fahrenheit and Rankine use a smaller step: nine of those degrees fit in five Celsius degrees. °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. K = °C + 273.15. °R = (°F + 459.67).

A worked example

528 degrees Rankine are 68.33 degrees Fahrenheit. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.

How to check it
