Newton to Réaumur Converter

About Newton (°N) and Réaumur (°Ré) Units

The Newton scale (°N) is a historical temperature scale created by the English scientist Isaac Newton in the early 18th century. In this system, 0°N corresponds to the freezing point of water, and 33°N roughly corresponds to the boiling point of water. Newton developed this scale while studying how liquids expand when heated. Although it is no longer in use today, the Newton scale is of historical significance and is sometimes referenced in studies of early temperature measurement systems. Réaumur (°Re) is a temperature scale named after the French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur. In this scale, water freezes at 0°Re and boils at 80°Re. It was historically used in Europe for scientific work, brewing, and some industrial processes. Although it is largely replaced by Celsius today, Réaumur is still referenced in historical recipes, old scientific texts, and specialty brewing measurements.
