Key Formulas
Celsius → Fahrenheit
°F = f(°C)Fahrenheit → Celsius
°C = f(°F)Celsius → Kelvin
K = f(°C)Kelvin → Celsius
°C = f(K)Formula
°R = °F + 459.67Rankine is the absolute temperature scale used in US engineering thermodynamics. Adding 459.67 converts Fahrenheit to Rankine — this is the offset from absolute zero. Rankine uses the same degree size as Fahrenheit, just from absolute zero.
