Delisle To Kelvin (°De To K) Converter

The Delisle to Kelvin (°De to K) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert temperatures from the Delisle scale to the Kelvin scale. The Delisle scale (°De) is an older temperature measurement system where temperatures are measured based on the boiling point of water, but it is less commonly used today. Kelvin (K), on the other hand, is the SI base unit for temperature, widely used in scientific contexts, and starts at absolute zero.

One Delisle degree (°De) is defined based on the boiling point of water at 100°C. Specifically, 0°De corresponds to the boiling point of water (100°C), and the scale decreases as the temperature increases. The formula to convert from Delisle to Celsius is:

°C = 100 – (°De × 2/3)

Since Kelvin is directly related to Celsius by adding 273.15, the conversion from Delisle to Kelvin involves first converting °De to °C, then adding 273.15. The complete formula is:

K = 273.15 + [100 – (°De × 2/3)]

This tool simplifies the process, allowing you to input a temperature in Delisle and instantly see the equivalent temperature in Kelvin. Whether you’re working with historical data or scientific calculations, this converter makes temperature conversions straightforward and accurate.
