Formula

To convert kelvins to degrees Rankine, use the formula °R = K × 9/5.

°R = K × 9/5

Example calculation

Convert 25 K to °R:

25 K → °R = K × 9/5 → 45 °R

Kelvin and Rankine start at absolute zero, so negative values are physically impossible.

About the units

Kelvin (K)
The SI base unit of temperature, with zero at absolute zero. Named after Lord Kelvin and used in physics and chemistry.
Degree Rankine (°R)
An absolute scale using Fahrenheit-sized degrees, zero at absolute zero. Used in some US thermodynamics and engineering work.
