    How to Convert Réaumur to Rankine

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

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

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

    Step-by-Step Example

    1. Start with your value in Réaumur. For example: 5 °Ré
    2. Apply °R = ((°Ré × 5/4) + 273.15) × 9/5
    3. The result is: 502.92 °R
