Use this page to convert rankine values into fahrenheit, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

This conversion uses an offset formula rather than a single multiplier because the temperature scales start from different zero points.

deg R to deg F: Apply the scale formula and then add or remove the required offset.

Example: 25 deg R = -434.67 deg F

Rankine starts at absolute zero, and one Rankine degree is the same interval as one Fahrenheit degree.

History: The Rankine scale was developed for thermodynamic calculations in systems based on Fahrenheit.

Current use: Rankine appears in some engineering, thermodynamics, and legacy US customary calculations.

Also written as deg R.

Fahrenheit is related to Celsius through the formula (F - 32) x 5/9 = C.

History: Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit introduced the scale in the early eighteenth century.

Current use: Fahrenheit is common for weather, cooking, and consumer contexts in the United States.

Also written as deg F, °F, F, degF, degree F, degrees F, degree Fahrenheit, degrees Fahrenheit.
