Use this page to convert reaumur values into kelvin, 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 K: Apply the scale formula and then add or remove the required offset.

Example: 25 deg r = 304.4 K

Reaumur degrees convert to Celsius by multiplying by 5/4.

History: The Reaumur scale was introduced in the eighteenth century and used in parts of Europe.

Current use: Reaumur is mostly used for historical references and older scientific or culinary records.

Also written as deg r.

Kelvin uses the same interval size as Celsius, with absolute zero at 0 K.

History: It was developed for thermodynamics and later integrated into the SI system.

Current use: Kelvin is used in science, engineering, and color temperature references.

Also written as K, kelvins.
