About Rankine and Fahrenheit
Detailed information about both units of measurement.
Rankine
- Definition
- The absolute Fahrenheit scale. Zero Rankine is absolute zero. Used primarily in US engineering fields.
- SI / Standard Information
- Named after William John Macquorn Rankine. One Rankine degree equals one Fahrenheit degree. 0°R = -459.67°F = 0 K.
- Approximate Comparison
- A change of 1°R is exactly the same as a change of 1°F.
- Practical Applications
-
- US aerospace engineering
- Thermodynamic calculations
- Some HVAC engineering
- US academic engineering curricula
- Real-World Examples
-
- Room temperature is about 527°R
- Water freezes at 491.67°R
- Water boils at 671.67°R
Fahrenheit
- Definition
- The imperial temperature scale where water freezes at 32° and boils at 212° at standard atmospheric pressure.
- SI / Standard Information
- Developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724. Uses a scale where 0°F was the freezing point of brine and 96°F was body temperature.
- Approximate Comparison
- 1°F is about 0.56°C. A comfortable room is around 70°F.
- Practical Applications
-
- US weather forecasting
- US cooking and oven temperatures
- HVAC thermostat settings
- US medical temperature measurement
- Real-World Examples
-
- A comfortable room temperature is 68-72°F
- Human body temperature is 98.6°F
- Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F
