°R = °F + 459.67
°F = °R − 459.67
Add 459.67 to Fahrenheit to get Rankine.
Subtract 459.67 from Rankine to get Fahrenheit.
Example: convert 98.6 °F to °R
98.6 °F → 558.27 °R (fahrenheit to rankine)
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Rankine (°R)
The Rankine scale is an absolute Fahrenheit-scale system: 0°R is absolute zero and one Rankine degree equals one Fahrenheit degree.
Rankine is used in some US engineering fields, especially thermodynamics and aerospace calculations.
