Rømer to Rankine Converter

About Rømer (°Rø) and Rankine (°R) Units

The Rømer scale (°Rø) is developed by the Danish astronomer Ole Rømer in 1701. In this system, water freezes at 7.5°Rø and boils at 60°Rø. Rømer created this scale while studying the freezing and boiling points of water for practical scientific measurements. It is no longer used in modern temperature measurements but remains important in historical studies. Rankine (°R) is a temperature scale named after the Scottish engineer William Rankine. It is mainly used in engineering and thermodynamics, especially in the United States. The Rankine scale uses absolute zero as its starting point, so 0°R equals absolute zero, and water freezes at 491.67°R. It is commonly used in heat engine calculations, thermodynamic cycles, and aerospace engineering where absolute temperatures are required in Fahrenheit increments.
