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:
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.
As far as variants are concerned, Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Reaumur. We can convert Rankine into these using the links mentioned below.
