    How to Convert Rankine to Réaumur

    This conversion uses an offset formula, so it cannot be described by a single multiplication factor.

    Formula: °Ré = (°R - 491.67) × 4/9

    Reverse: °R = ((°Ré × 5/4) + 273.15) × 9/5

    Step-by-Step Example

    1. Start with your value in Rankine. For example: 5 °R
    2. Apply °Ré = (°R - 491.67) × 4/9
    3. The result is: -216.297778 °Ré

    About Rankine

    The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit-sized degrees: 0 °R is absolute zero and water freezes at 491.67 °R.

    Common uses: US thermodynamics, combustion engineering.

    About Réaumur

    The Réaumur scale sets water's freezing point at 0 °Ré and its boiling point at 80 °Ré. It survives in a few European cheese and syrup recipes.

    Common uses: historic recipes, history of science.
