How to convert Kelvin to Rankine

Conversion factor and calculation steps from Kelvin (K) to Rankine (°R).

Conversion logic

Temperature is converted through the Celsius scale: first the zero offset, then the size of the degree.

K = °C + 273.15

°R = (°C + 273.15) × 9/5

1 K − 273.15 = -272.15 °C

(-272.15 °C + 273.15) × 9/5 = 1.8 °R
