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.
