Temperature conversions are performed by using a formula, which differs dependent on the two temperatures you are converting between.
For example, to convert, say 50 degrees celsius (centigrade) to fahrenheit, we plug our numbers into the formula as shown below: F = C * 9/5 + 32
F = 50 * 9/5 + 32
F =
90 + 32
F = 122
50 degrees celsius is equal to 122 degrees fahrenheit.
The following temperature conversion formulas are used to convert from one temperature scale to another.
Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion |
[°F] = [°C] × 9/5 + 32 |

Celsius to Kelvin Conversion |
[K] = [°C] + 273.15 |
Celsius to Rankine Conversion |
[°R] = [°C] × 9/5 + 491.67 |
Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion |
[°C] = ([°F] − 32) × 5/9 |
|---|---|
Fahrenheit to Kelvin Conversion |
[K] = ([°F] + 459.67) × 5/9 |
