491.67 °R = 273.15 K

273.15 K = 491.67 °R

How to Convert Rankine to Kelvin

To convert Rankine to Kelvin, use the formula: K = °R × 5/9

Kelvin = Rankine × 1

Examples: 491.67 °R = 273.15 K (freezing point), 671.67 °R = 373.15 K (boiling point)

About These Scales

°RRankine

Rankine is an absolute temperature scale like Kelvin, but uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees. It starts at absolute zero (0R = -459.67F). It is used in some engineering fields, particularly in the United States.

KKelvin

Kelvin is the SI base unit of temperature. It starts at absolute zero (the coldest possible temperature, -273.15C) and uses the same increment size as Celsius. It is widely used in science and engineering.
