Convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit

Although both kelvin and Fahrneheit are used for temperature, units of kelvin are more strictly a measurement for scientific purposes while degrees Fahrenheit are used in a more commercial sense. Both discovered by important scientific figures, these units of temperature are important for measuring temperature. Above you will find out kelvin – Fahrenheit calculator to use.

How to use the Converter from Kelvin to Fahrenheit?

Enter above the quantity of units of kelvin you need to convert into degrees Fahrenheit and click “convert” to be given the new tempertaure equivalent by our K to °F converter. To do the opposite conversion, use our tool to convert Fahrenheit to kelvin.

Formula to Convert K – °F

In mathematical terms, the temperature conversion formula for this calculation of kelvin to Fahrenheit is shown below for you to use should you need to. As a few examples, 120K = -243.67°F and 295K = 71.33°F

[number of] K x (9/5) – 459.67 = [number of] °F

When to use Kelvin?

The unit of kelvin is not a type of degree, such as Celsius or Fahrenheit, but instead is a unit of measurement mostly used within the scientific field. The Kelvin scale was born when Glaswegian engineer and physicist, William Thomson, wrote about an absolute thermometric scale. Above you will be able to convert k to °f.

When to use Fahrenheit?

The Fahrenheit scale as we know it today is based on one proposed by German physicist, Daniel Fahrenheit who studied the temperatures of brine and the human body. The temperature scale of Fahrenheit is favoured in the United States for measuring temperature, such as on the weather forecast and within buildings, such as offices and rooms.  Try out our K to °F conversion tool.
