Temperature conversion: Réaumur scale convertor

The Réaumur scale was created in 1730. French naturalist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur determined temperature 0 °Ré is the thaw point of ice and 80 °Ré is the boiling point of water. It was very popular after introduction but already during 19th century it was replaced by other systems. That is why we meet this scale very rarely. The smallest part of scale is called Réaumur 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degree Celsius also known as centigrade degree (used in most of world), degree Fahrenheit (USA), Rankine degree (out-of-date unit) or Réaumur degree (almost non-used).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.
