What are Reaumur and Rankine

Réaumur is a temperature scale named after the French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur. One degree Réaumur is 1.25 degrees Celsius or 2.25 degrees Fahrenheit. The scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees Réaumur and the boiling point at 80 degrees Réaumur.

The Rankine scale is a temperature scale that sets zero as absolute zero, similar to Kelvin. It was proposed by Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine. One Rankine degree is equal to one Fahrenheit degree, but with the starting point set at absolute zero.

History of Reaumur and Rankine

The Réaumur to Rankine converter is a tool that translates temperatures from the Réaumur scale, widely used in Europe until the 19th century, to the Rankine scale, which is primarily used in engineering fields in the United States. This conversion is crucial for historical data analysis and specific scientific applications.
