Rankine enters the chat …

For those unaware, degrees Rankine are the same size as degrees Fahrenheit, but counting from absolute zero. It’s the English analogue to the French system’s Kelvin.



Rankine and Fahrenheit, all you need for science and everyday.


ehhh, it's just a scaling factor and no bias/offset, so I'm fine with that. Let's see.

273K = 0°C = 32°F = 491°R

298K = 25°C = 77°F = 536°R

373K = 100°C = 212°F = 671°R

No. That's just crazy.
