Convert Reaumur to Rankine

These units of temperature, rankine and Reaumur, are used more in specific industrial circumstances. The scales are both considered as non-mainstream temperature measurements because they are not used in everyday circumstances nor are their thermometers needed for common use.  Above is our Reaumur – Rankine converter, we have more temperature converters available.

How to use the Converter from Reaumur to Rankine?

Enter the quantity of units of Reaumur you need to change into the box above and click “convert” for our °re to °r calculator to accurately convert the number into rankine units. The opposite conversion requires you to convert rankine to Reaumur.

Formula for Converting °Re – °R

Below is the mathematical formula for this Reaumur to rankine conversion that you can use to accurately calculate the change yourself, or if you need to know how the temperature conversion is done. Some examples would be, -9°Re = 471.42°R and 37°Re = 574.92°R

°Re  x (9/4) + 491.67 = °R

When to use Reaumur?

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

When to use Rankine?

William Rankine, a Glaswegian engineer and physicist, proposed the Rankine scale in 1859. Rankine units are related to degrees of Fahrenheit unlike kelvin that are related to Celsius. On the Rankine scale, absolute zero is also defined as 0. Use our Reaumur – rankine calculator above for any conversion you need.
