How to Convert Kelvin to Rankine
To convert Kelvin (K) to Rankine (°R), use the formula: °R = K × 9/5.
For example, to convert 5 K to °R: 5 K = 9 °R. Similarly, 10 K = 18 °R, 25 K = 45 °R, and 100 K = 180 °R.
To convert in the other direction, 1 °R = 0.555556 K. Simply enter your value in either field above for instant bi-directional conversion.
What is a Kelvin?
Kelvin (K) is the SI base unit of temperature, starting at absolute zero (−273.15 °C). Kelvin is used in science, engineering, and color temperature for lighting and displays.
What is a Rankine?
Rankine (°R) is an absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit-sized degrees, starting at absolute zero. Rankine is used in some US engineering contexts, particularly in thermodynamics.
