Fahrenheit to Rankine Converter
How to convert Fahrenheit to Rankine
°R = °F + 459.67
To convert Fahrenheit to Rankine, add 459.67 to the value in Fahrenheit.
1 °F = 460.67 °R
Examples
- Normal body temperature: 98.6 °F + 459.67 = 558.27 °R
- A common oven temperature: 350 °F + 459.67 = 809.67 °R
Good to know
The two scales use the same size of degree and differ only by an offset: °R = °F + 459.67.
The Rankine scale starts at absolute zero, so there are no negative Rankine temperatures.

Unit definitions
- Fahrenheit (°F)
- On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F at sea-level pressure, 180 degrees apart. It is the everyday temperature scale in the United States.
- Rankine (°R)
- The Rankine scale starts at absolute zero and uses degrees the same size as the degree Fahrenheit, so a temperature in degrees Rankine is the Fahrenheit temperature plus 459.67. It is used in some US engineering calculations.
