Convert kelvin to rankine with this easy to use K to °R conversion tool.

Kelvin explained

The Kelvin temperature scale is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in scientific and engineering applications. It is named after the British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, who proposed the scale in the mid-19th century. The Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero, the theoretical point where all molecular motion ceases.

Rankine explained

The Rankine temperature scale is an absolute temperature scale that uses degrees Fahrenheit for its units. Zero on the Rankine scale represents absolute zero, the point at which molecular energy is minimal. This scale is primarily used in engineering fields, particularly in the United States, where calculations involving thermodynamic temperature are conducted using Fahrenheit-based measurements.
