Degree Rankine
A Rankine degree interval equals 5/9 kelvin.
History: Rankine uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees on an absolute thermodynamic scale.
Current use: Rankine intervals appear in thermodynamics and some US engineering calculations.
Also written as deg R.
Kelvin
A kelvin interval is the same size as a Celsius degree interval.
History: Kelvin intervals come from the thermodynamic temperature scale.
Current use: Kelvin intervals are used in science, engineering, thermodynamics, and heat-transfer calculations.
Also written as K.
