Convert reaumur to rankine, abbreviated as °Re to °R. This is based formula: rankine = reaumur × 2.25 + 491.67, under this rule, reaumurs can be easily converted into rankines. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
It is temperature scale where boiling point is taken to be as 80 degrees and freezing point is taken to be as 0 degrees. It’s also known as Octogesimal division. Like other units of temperatures, it’s also used to measure temperatures.
Antoine Ferchault de Reaumur was the first who proposed a scale similar to Reaumur in 1730. It’s origin basically comes from the France and Germany where it was earlier being used. Along with, all over the Europe it was being used at large scales. Even if it was widely used in Europe, yet it was replaced with Celsius scale till 1790s. However, it had been used till 1950 in some areas of Europe although it was replaced earlier.
Its abbreviation is °Re and sometimes it’s been used as a symbol r.
It has not been used in current era but in some areas in food industry it’s still used at minor scale. Therefore, it’s not wrong to say that it has been replace with other temperature scales. Italian and Swiss factories use it for measuring milk temperatures while production of cheese.
It’s absolute thermodynamic temperature scale because it based around Absolute zero. It’s quite similar to Kelvin scale. It is firstly used in US
The absolute zero for Fahrenheit is designed as absolute zero which is -459.67 degree Fahrenheit.
Zero kelvin is equal to 0 °R
Rankine is a unit of temperature. And its symbols are °R, °Ra
When it comes to its usage, some authors alternatively used it with Kelvin omitting the degree symbol. Some important temperatures related to Rankine scale are given below:
Absolute zero= 0 °R
Freezing Point =491.67 °R
Boiling Point =671.64102 °R
It is named after Macquorn Rankine. It’s usage context is especially concerned in engineering systems where heat computations are done usually in degree Fahrenheit.
If you want to know how to convert reaumur to rankine, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
Reaumur to Rankine formula is:
Rankine = Reaumur × 2.25 + 491.67
For example, convert 20 °Re to °R
20 °Re = 20 × 2.25 + 491.67 = 536.67 °R
