Fahrenheit To Rankine (°F To °R) Converter

The Fahrenheit to Rankine (°F to °R) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you easily convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Rankine. Both units are used to measure temperature, but they have different reference points and scales.

The Fahrenheit (°F) scale is a common temperature measurement used mainly in the United States. It defines the freezing point of water as 32°F and the boiling point as 212°F under standard atmospheric pressure. The scale is based on a mixture of water, ice, and salt, with each degree representing a specific temperature change.

The Rankine (°R) scale is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in engineering and thermodynamics, especially in the United States. It starts at absolute zero, which is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion stops. On the Rankine scale, absolute zero is 0°R, and the freezing point of water is 491.67°R.

The conversion formula from Fahrenheit to Rankine is straightforward: simply add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

°R = °F + 459.67

This means that to convert a temperature from Fahrenheit to Rankine, you just need to add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit value. Our tool automates this calculation, making it quick and easy for you to switch between these two temperature units.
