Conversion Formula
The formula to convert Fahrenheit (F) to Rankine (R) is R = F + 459.67. This works because Rankine starts at absolute zero, which is -459.67°F. By adding 459.67, the scale shifts from Fahrenheit to Rankine without changing the size of each degree. For example, 176°F + 459.67 = 352.67°R, which indicates the same temperature on the Rankine scale.
Conversion Example
- Convert 200°F to Rankine:
- Step 1: Take the Fahrenheit value: 200.
- Step 2: Add 459.67: 200 + 459.67 = 659.67.
- Step 3: Result is 659.67°R.
- Convert 100°F to Rankine:
- Step 1: Take 100°F.
- Step 2: Add 459.67: 100 + 459.67 = 559.67.
- Step 3: The temperature is 559.67°R.
- Convert -40°F to Rankine:
- Step 1: Take -40°F.
- Step 2: Add 459.67: -40 + 459.67 = 419.67.
- Step 3: The resulting Rankine temperature is 419.67°R.
- Convert 0°F to Rankine:
- Step 1: Take 0°F.
- Step 2: Add 459.67: 0 + 459.67 = 459.67.
- Step 3: The Rankine equivalent is 459.67°R.

Conversion Definitions
F
The Fahrenheit (F) scale measures temperature based on the freezing point of water at 32°F and boiling at 212°F, with 180-degree intervals. It is commonly used in the United States, with degrees representing temperature differences and specific points.
Rankine
Rankine (R) is an absolute temperature scale starting at absolute zero, with degrees equal in size to Fahrenheit degrees. It is used mainly in thermodynamics and engineering, where temperature measurements are absolute, making conversions straightforward by adding 459.67.
Conversion FAQs
How precise is the conversion from Fahrenheit to Rankine?
The conversion adds 459.67 to the Fahrenheit value, so it is precise for temperatures in Fahrenheit. Rounding may cause minor discrepancies, but for most practical purposes, the result is accurate to four decimal places.
Does the Rankine scale ever go below 0°R?
No, Rankine begins at absolute zero, which is -459.67°F. Therefore, 0°R equates to absolute zero, and temperatures in Rankine cannot be below this point, ensuring all values are zero or positive.
Why is Rankine used instead of Kelvin in some cases?
Rankine is used mainly in the US in engineering contexts involving Fahrenheit measurements, especially in thermodynamics. Kelvin is more common internationally, but Rankine allows direct conversions from Fahrenheit without changing the degree size.
