Kelvin

 

Kelvin Formulas

\( T_{ °K} \;=\;  273.15 ° + T_ { °C} \) 

\( T_{ °K} \;=\;  \dfrac{ T_ { °F} + 459.67° }{ 1.8 }\) 

\( T_{°K} \;=\;  \dfrac{ T_{ °R} }{ 1.8 }\) 

Symbol English Metric
\( T \) = temperature \( T \) \( T \)
\( C \) = celsius - \( C \)
\( F \) = fahrenheit \( F \) -
\( K \) = kelvin - \( K \)
\( R \) = rankine \( R \) -

Kelvin, abbreviated as K, is a unit of temperature normally used for scientific calculations. Unlike celsius, fahrenheit and rankine, the word degree is not used. Since Kelvin starts with absolute zero it has no negative numbers.
