Convert Celsius to Rankine

Celsius and rankine are two separate units for measuring temperature. Celsius degrees are used commercially, such as on the news for weather predictions. The Rankine scale is used in the engineering field and less commercially, however, it is common to need to convert between the two. Use our Celsius – rankine conversion tool above for your calculations and try out our other temperature converters.

How to use the Celsius to Rankine Converter?

In the box above, enter the quantity of degrees Celsius you need to change and click “convert” to be shown the quantity in units of rankine. Our temperature converters are very accurate and you can use the opposite converter should you need to convert rankine to Celsius.

Formula to Convert °C – °R

When doing this Celsius to rankine conversion, you might need to know the mathematical formula behind the process so we have provided it for you below. For instance, 7 °C = 504.27 °R and 28 °C = 542.07 °R

(°C + 273.15) x (9/5) = °R

When to use Celsius?

Celsius degrees is the most common form of measuring temperature, formerly known as degrees centigrade. The name Celsius comes from the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius who discovered a temperature scale where 0 signified boiling water and 100 freezing water. The temperature scale is used for thermometers and on the news when telling the weather. Use our °C to °R calculator above.

When to use Rankine?

Rankine units are related to degrees of Fahrenheit unlike kelvin that are related to Celsius. William Rankine, a Glaswegian engineer and physicist, proposed the Rankine scale in 1859. Absolute zero on the Rankine scale is also defined as 0 on the Kelvin scale. Try out our Celsius – rankine converter.
