Temperature conversion: Rankine scale convertor

The Rankine scale was created in 1859. Scottish physicist and engineer William John Macquorn Rankine determined temperature 0 °R will respond absolute zero and one degree of the scale will have the same interval like on The Fahrenheit scale. The smallest part of scale is called Rankine degree.

Temperature

Temperature is physical value which we indicate in temperature degrees and which base unit in SI system (The International System of Units) is kelvin (which is used in connection with thermodynamic temperature). Other units are for instance degree Celsius also known as centigrade degree (used in most of world), degree Fahrenheit (USA), Rankine degree (out-of-date unit) or Réaumur degree (almost non-used). For measuring of temperature are used devices called thermometers. Branch that deals with measuring of temperatures is called thermometry.
