Convert Celsius to Reaumur

The temperature scales of Celsius and Reaumur both define the freezing point of water to be 0 degrees. However, the scales differ in their usage, and also in the temperature they consider to be the boiling point of water. In Celsius, the boiling point of water is 100°C while in Reaumur it is 80°Re.

Formula to Convert °C – °Re

In mathematical terms, this conversion uses the formula that is shown below and it is the same formula used by the Celsius – Reaumur calculator to give you the most accurate conversion. For instance, 13°C = 10.4°Re and 26°C = 20.8°Re

[number of] °C x 0.8 = [number of] °Re

When to use Celsius?

Degrees Celsius is the most common form of measuring temperature used in thermometers and on the news when telling the weather. It was 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. Use our C to Re conversion tool above.

When to use Reaumur?

Although previously used as a widespread scale for measuring temperature in Europe, Reaumur had been replaced by Celsius by the mid-19th century. Its use now is centered in cheese production to measure the temperature of milk. It is also used in cooking desserts to measure the temperature of certain ingredients, but mainly only used in Europe. Above you will be able to convert Celsius to Reaumur.
