Fahrenheit to Kelvin

About Fahrenheit to Kelvin

The conversion from Fahrenheit to Kelvin is done with a simple formula: (T)K = 5/9 (T)F + 459.67. Fahrenheit and Kelvin are two well-recognized and utilized temperature scales. While temperature is measured in Fahrenheit in the United States, the Kelvin scale is widely employed in scientific computations worldwide. The Fahrenheit scale is used in various scientific and engineering equipment. Let's look at the Fahrenheit to Kelvin conversion formula and some examples.

Definition of Fahrenheit

Fahrenheit is a temperature scale based on 32° and 212° for the freezing and boiling points of water, respectively, and divides the difference into 180 equal parts. It's written in degrees Fahrenheit and can be used to convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to other units of measurement.

Definition of kelvin

The International System of Units' fundamental unit for measuring temperature is Kelvin. The triple point of water is represented by the percentage of 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature, and this scale is known as Kelvin. It divides the distance between the freezing and boiling water points into 100 divisions, making one Kelvin equal to one Celsius. Because it is an absolute scale based on absolute zero, K is used instead of the sign (°).
