How to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Rankine
°R = °F + 459.67Temperature scales have different zero points, so the conversion needs an offset as well as a scale factor. In one step: °R = °F × 1 + 459.67.

About the units
Degree Fahrenheit (°F)
Used for weather and cooking in the United States. Water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F, so 180 Fahrenheit degrees span what 100 Celsius degrees do.
Degree Rankine (°R)
An absolute scale with Fahrenheit-sized degrees: 0 °R is absolute zero and 491.67 °R is the freezing point of water. Used in some US thermodynamics work.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Rankine?
°R = °F + 459.67. Temperature scales have different zero points, so the conversion needs an offset as well as a scale factor. In one step: °R = °F × 1 + 459.67.
What is 68 degrees Fahrenheit in degrees Rankine?
68 °F = 527.67 °R.
What is 0 °F in °R?
0 °F = 459.67 °R.
Can I just multiply to convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Rankine?
No. °F and °R have different zero points, so a single multiplication gives the wrong answer. Use the full formula above, or the converter. To convert a temperature difference (such as a 10-degree rise), use the temperature interval converter instead.
Is this °F to °R converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
