Convert Rankine to Celsius

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

How to use the Converter from Rankine to Celsius?

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

Formula to Convert °R – °C

When doing this rankine to Celsius 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

(°R – 491.67) x (5/9) = °C 

When to use Rankine?

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

When to use Celsius?

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