Metric Conversion Factors:

Temperature

To convert from	To	Use this formula
TEMPERATURE
temperature Celsius, tC	temperature Kelvin, tK	tK = tC + 273.15
temperature Fahrenheit, tF	temperature Kelvin, tK	tK = (tF + 459.67)/1.8
temperature Celsius, tC	temperature Fahrenheit, tF	tF = 1.8tC + 32
temperature Fahrenheit, tF	temperature Celsius, tC	tC = (tF - 32)/1.8
temperature Kelvin, tK	temperature Celsius, tC	tC = tK - 273.15
temperature Kelvin, tK	temperature Fahrenheit, tF	tF = 1.8tK - 459.67
temperature Kelvin, tK	temperature Rankine, tR	tR = 9/5tK
temperature Rankine, tR	temperature Kelvin, tK	tK = 5/9tR
