Temperature Conversion Rev1

This document provides formulas for converting between Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Rankine temperature scales. It gives the formulas as: Celsius to Kelvin: K = C + 273.15 Kelvin to Celsius: C = K - 273.15 Celsius to Fahrenheit: F = C × 9/5 + 32 Fahrenheit to Celsius: C = (F - 32) × 5/9 Fahrenheit to Rankine: R = F + 459.67 Rankine to Fahrenheit: F = R - 459.67 It also includes examples of converting between the different scales.

Temperature conversion formulae

From Celsius to Kelvin [K] = [°C] + 273.15

From Kelvin to Celsius [°C] = [K] − 273.15

From Celsius To Fahrenheit [°F] = [°C] × 9⁄5 + 32

From Fahrenheit To Celsius [°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5⁄9

From Fahrenheit to Rankine [°R] = [°F] + 459.67

From Rankine to Fahrenheit [°F] = [°R] − 459.67

Problems
1. Express a temperature of 100 °C on Kelvin Scale

Solution:
Temperature in °K = Temperature in °C + 273.15
= 100 + 273.15 °K
= 373.15 °K

2. Express a temperature of 100 °C on Fahrenheit Scale

Solution:
Temperature in °F = (Temperature in °C) * (9/5) + 32
= 100 * (9/5) + 32 °F
= 212 °F

3. Express a temperature of -40 °C on Kelvin Scale

Solution:
Temperature in °K = Temperature in °C + 273.15
= -40 + 273.15 °K
= 233.15 °K

4. Express a temperature of -40 °C on Fahrenheit Scale

Solution:
Temperature in °F = (Temperature in °C) * (9/5) + 32
= (-40) * (9/5) + 32 °F
= -72 + 32 °F
= -40 °F
A temperature of -40 °C registers -40 °F on Fahrenheit scale.

-40 degrees is one temperature that has identical numerical value on both Fahrenheit and Celsius
Scales

5. Express a temperature of -40 °C on Kelvin Scale

Solution:
Temperature in °K = Temperature in °C + 273.15
= -40 + 273.15 °K
= 233.15 °K
