Description

Rankine (°R): The Absolute Fahrenheit Scale

The Rankine scale, symbolized as °R, is an absolute temperature scale used mainly in engineering fields, particularly in the United States. It combines the Fahrenheit degree with the concept of absolute zero, starting at 0°R. The Rankine scale is essential in thermodynamic calculations where temperature differences are measured in Fahrenheit degrees, such as in aerospace and mechanical engineering applications.

Celsius (°C): The Metric Temperature Standard

The Celsius scale, symbolized as °C, is a metric temperature scale widely used around the world. It sets the freezing point of water at 0°C and the boiling point at 100°C under standard atmospheric conditions. This scale is integral in daily life, weather forecasting, and scientific research. The Celsius scale is directly related to the Kelvin scale, with a conversion formula of K = °C + 273.15, facilitating seamless transitions between the two systems.
