Conversion tables

In the table below you can find the conversions constant of the measuring units (e.g. metric conversions) most commonly used in the scientific field, mostly between (but not limited to) Imperaial/USA and international (SI)/common units measurement systems. We tried to focus just on the science-related units, avoiding less interesting unit conversions like old roman or greek. If you have any suggestions about new measuring units, or corrections on the constants reported, please contact us at .

Temperature
  to transform to multiply by
or use formula
°F = 1,8 °C + 32 Fahrenheit (°F) Celsius (°C) °C = (°F - 32)/1,8
°K = °C + 273,15 Kelvin (°K) Celsius (°C) °C = °K - 273,15
°Ra = 1,8 °C + 32 + 459,67 Rankine (°R) Celsius (°C) °C = (°Ra ? 32 ? 459,67) / 1,8
°Ra = °F + 459,67 Rankine (°R) Fahrenheit (°F) °F = °Ra - 459,67
