About Temperature Conversion

Rankine Scale (°R)

The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale that uses absolute zero as its starting point. One degree Rankine equals one degree Fahrenheit in size, making it useful in engineering calculations in US customary units.

  • Absolute Zero: 0 °R
  • Freezing Point of Water: 491.67 °R
  • Boiling Point of Water: 671.67 °R

Newton Scale (°N)

The Newton scale is a historic temperature scale proposed by Isaac Newton in 1701. It uses the freezing point of water as 0 degrees and body temperature as 12 degrees. The scale is primarily of historical interest today.

Conversion Formula

To convert from Rankine to Newton:
