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.

Fahrenheit (°F): The Imperial Temperature Scale

The Fahrenheit scale, denoted as °F, is primarily used in the United States and its territories. Developed by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the early 18th century, this scale sets the freezing point of water at 32°F and the boiling point at 212°F. The Fahrenheit scale is commonly used in weather forecasts, cooking, and other everyday applications in regions where it is the standard.
