How to convert Rankine to Kelvin

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

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 °R × 5/9 − 273.15 = -272.594444444 °C

-272.594444444 °C + 273.15 = 0.555555555556 K
