How to convert Fahrenheit to Rankine

The relationship between temperature in Fahrenheit (ToF) and temperature in Rankine (ToR) is given below:

ToF - 32 = ToR - 491.67

Alternatively, it can also be written as:

ToR = ToF + 459.67


Example

To convert 32 Fahrenheit into Rankine, the above formula can be used:

(32 oF) + 459.67 = 491.67 oR

Fahrenheit

The degree Fahrenheit is a unit of temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. The degree Fahrenheit symbol is oF. The Fahrenheit scale is usually defined by two fixed points: the temperature at which pure water freezes into ice is defined as 32 oF and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 oF, both at sea level and under standard atmospheric pressure (a 180 oF separation).

Rankine

The Rankine is a unit of temperature on the Rankine scale. The symbol for degrees Rankine are oR or oRa. It is just like the Kelvin scale, where Zero on the Rankine scales is absolute zero, but a temperature difference of one Rankine degree is defined as equal to one Fahrenheit degree, rather than the Celsius degree used on the Kelvin scale. On the Rankine scale, pure water freezes at 491.67 oR, and it boils at 671.67 oR.
