Formula Used
To convert Celsius (°C) to Rankine (°R), this calculator uses the standard thermodynamic formula:
°R = (°C + 273.15) × 9⁄5This formula first converts Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15, then scales it to Rankine by multiplying by 9/5.
What Is the Rankine Temperature Scale?
The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale used primarily in engineering fields in the United States. It is similar to the Kelvin scale, but uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees. Zero Rankine (0 °R) is absolute zero, the point at which molecular energy is at its minimum. Unlike Celsius or Fahrenheit, Rankine does not go below zero. The scale is especially useful in thermodynamics and aerospace engineering.
What Is the Celsius Temperature Scale?
The Celsius scale is a metric temperature scale where 0 °C marks the freezing point of water and 100 °C marks the boiling point (at standard atmospheric pressure). It’s widely used across the world for everyday temperature measurements, weather forecasts, and scientific research.

- For readability, precision is limited to two decimal places.
- Does not account for temperature corrections due to pressure or altitude.
Practical Examples
- 0 °C = 491.67 °R — Freezing point of water.
- 100 °C = 671.67 °R — Boiling point of water.
- 25 °C = 536.67 °R — Comfortable room temperature.
- -30 °C = 437.67 °R — Extremely cold winter day.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I use this tool offline?
This calculator requires an internet connection to load as it runs on the web. But after loading it, you do not require an active internet connection and can use it offline too. Just make sure not to close the page.
2. Is Rankine the same as Kelvin?
No. While both are absolute scales, Rankine uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees while Kelvin uses Celsius-sized degrees.
3. Who uses the Rankine scale?
It’s primarily used in the United States for thermodynamic and engineering calculations, especially in aerospace and mechanical fields.
4. Can I convert negative Celsius values?
Yes. The calculator handles negative Celsius temperatures correctly and outputs a positive Rankine value.
