Newton to Rankine Conversion: A Comprehensive Guide

The Newton and Rankine scales are both temperature scales, albeit less common than Celsius or Fahrenheit. If you're working with scientific data or historical records, you might encounter temperatures expressed in these units. This blog post will guide you through the Newton to Rankine conversion process and provide a handy online calculator.

Understanding the Newton Scale

Developed by Isaac Newton in 1701, the Newton scale is a descending scale where the freezing point of water is 0°N, and the boiling point of water is 33°N.

Understanding the Rankine Scale

The Rankine scale, named after William John Macquorn Rankine, is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale. 0°R represents absolute zero, the theoretical point where all molecular motion ceases.

Newton to Rankine Conversion Formula

The formula to convert Newton to Rankine is:

**Rankine (°R) = (Newton (N) * 60/11) + 491.67**
