\[R = F + 459.67\]
Variables
Ftemperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
Rtemperature in degrees Rankine (°R)
Description
What is this formula?
This formula converts a temperature from degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Rankine (°R). Rankine is the absolute temperature scale corresponding to Fahrenheit increments and is frequently used in thermodynamic and aerospace engineering calculations.
When to use it
Use this formula whenever a Fahrenheit temperature must be converted to Rankine for thermodynamic equations, gas property calculations, heat transfer analysis, or engineering systems using imperial units.
Example
Convert 80 °F to Rankine.
Data:
F = 80 °F
Formula:
R = F + 459.67
Substitution:
R = 80 + 459.67
Result:
R = 539.67 °R
