Formula
To convert degrees Rankine to kelvins, use the formula K = °R × 5/9.
K = °R × 5/9
Example calculation
Convert 25 °R to K:
25 °R → K = °R × 5/9 → 13.8889 K

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