Fahrenheit To Kelvin

[Arc]

Anyone know the math to convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin?

I could also use Celcius To Kelvin, Kelvin to Fahrenheit, and Kelvin to Celcius

Thanks!!!!

Hmm, I don't need a program to do it for me... I need to know the math involved for my own program. I couldn't find any source code on that site..only compiled programs.

Kelvin is Celcius + 273

Arc,

there are 4 scales for measuring temperatures, 1 = Celsius, 2 = Farenheit, 3 = Raumer ( i dont know if i spelt it correctly) and 4 = Kelvin.

for first 3 scales:

1 = celsius = Freezing point water is 0^o and Boiling Point is 100^o

2 = farenheit = Freezing point water is 32^o and Boiling Point is 212^o

3 = raumer = Freezing point water is 0^o and Boiling Point is 80^o

so, let C, F and R be degrees you want to calculate (or for conversion) then

(C - 0)              (F - 32)                    (R - 0)
-------      =       ----------          =     ----------
(100 - 0)           (212 - 32)                 (80 - 0)

so,

     C                F - 32                  R
--------    =        ---------     =     ---------
    5                    9                   4    (thnx Rassis)

and finally the 4th scale i.e. Kelvin

   K = C + 273

hope it helps.

Thanks guys. Although none of the examples gave me exactly what I needed, they did make me realise I had to figure it out for myslef heh. I already had the Fahrenheit to celcius and celcius to fahreniet and celcius to Kelvin, but the rest were just a matter of figuring out how those three worked and making up my own math for it.

K = ° F + 459.67 * 5 / 9
K = 5/9 (° F - 32) + 273.15

[Rassis]

Fahrenheit + 459.67 * 5 / 9

K = 255.22 + 5/9 F

Raumer ( i dont know if i spelt it correctly)

FYI, I think it's Reaumur

correct

[Rassis]

Réaumur more precisely.

[krtxmrtz]

Réaumur more precisely.

Oh, is it a French name?
