1 1/°F = 1.8 1/K
1 1/K = 0.5555555556 1/°F
To convert per degree fahrenheit to per kelvin, multiply by 1.8.
To convert per kelvin to per degree fahrenheit, multiply by 0.5555555556.
Example: convert 10 1/°F to 1/K
10 × 1.8 = 18 1/K
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Per degree Fahrenheit (1/°F) is larger than per kelvin because a Fahrenheit degree interval is smaller — 1/°F equals 1.8/K.
US material tables often list expansion in 1/°F; convert carefully because per-degree coefficients scale inversely with interval size.
Per kelvin (1/K) is the SI unit for linear or volumetric thermal expansion coefficients — fractional change in length per kelvin temperature change.
Coefficients per kelvin describe how metals, plastics, and concrete grow with temperature in structural and piping design.
1/K = 1/°F × 1.81/°F = 1/K × 0.5555555556, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any thermal expansion conversion starting from per degree fahrenheit — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
