Kelvin (K) to Rankine (°R) Conversion
A clear guide to converting Kelvin into Rankine. Includes numeric examples, formulas, and a breakdown of where this conversion appears in science, engineering, and daily applications.
Conversion Formula
Rankine = Kelvin × 1.8
To convert Kelvin (K) to Rankine (°R), multiply the value by 1.8. This factor is obtained by comparing their exact meter definitions.
Worked Example
Convert 1 K to R.
- Step 1: Write the formula: R = K × 1.8
- Step 2: Substitute: 1 × 1.8
- Step 3: Result: 1.8 R
So, 1 K = 1.8 R.
