Raumur to Kelvin Conversion: A Comprehensive Guide

The Réaumur scale, developed by René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730, is a historical temperature scale. It defines the freezing point of water as 0°R and the boiling point as 80°R. The Kelvin scale, on the other hand, is the SI unit of temperature, an absolute scale where 0 K represents absolute zero (the point of no molecular motion). This guide will walk you through the conversion process from Réaumur to Kelvin.

Converting Raumur to Kelvin

To convert a temperature from the Réaumur scale to the Kelvin scale, we follow these steps:

  1. Convert Réaumur to Celsius:

    Celsius (°C) = Réaumur (°R) * (5/4)

  2. Convert Celsius to Kelvin:

    Kelvin (K) = Celsius (°C) + 273.15

By following these steps, you can accurately convert any temperature from the Réaumur scale to the Kelvin scale.
