Key points
Celsius ↔ Fahrenheit Temperature Converter: Convert between Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), Kelvin (K) and Rankine (°R): enter any one scale to get the other three, with an absolute-zero check. Formula: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32 | K = °C + 273.15 | °R = K × 9/5. Enter parameters on the DD-CAT IDE online tool page to get results instantly, with a calculation-model diagram that updates with the inputs. Celsius and Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15; absolute zero = −273.15 °C = 0 K = −459.67 °F, and no lower temperature exists physically. Celsius and Fahrenheit: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32; −40 °C = −40 °F is the only point where both scales read the same.
Inputs
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32 | K = °C + 273.15 | °R = K × 9/5Calculation model (updates with parameters)
| Celsius °C | 25°C | °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9 = K − 273.15 |
| Fahrenheit °F | 77°F | °F = °C × 9/5 + 32 |
| Kelvin K | 298.15K | K = °C + 273.15 (absolute scale, never negative) |
| Rankine °R | 536.67°R | °R = K × 9/5 = °F + 459.67 |
| Temperature interval ΔT | 1 °C = 1 K = 1.8 °F = 1.8 °R | Interval conversion depends only on the degree size, not on the zero point |
Engineering notes
- Celsius and Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15; absolute zero = −273.15 °C = 0 K = −459.67 °F, and no lower temperature exists physically.
- Celsius and Fahrenheit: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32; −40 °C = −40 °F is the only point where both scales read the same.
- Temperature-interval conversion depends only on the degree size: Δ1 °C = Δ1 K = Δ1.8 °F = Δ1.8 °R, independent of the zero point.
- Common references: water freezes at 0 °C / 32 °F and boils at 100 °C / 212 °F, body temperature is about 37 °C / 98.6 °F, and most chips are limited to 125 °C / 257 °F junction temperature.
