Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Rankine temperature scale?
The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale using the same degree size as Fahrenheit with zero at absolute zero, used mainly in thermodynamics and engineering with Fahrenheit units.

What does the triple point of water represent?
The triple point of water is the unique temperature and pressure where water’s solid, liquid, and vapor phases coexist, serving as a precise fixed point for temperature calibration.

Why convert Rankine temperatures to the triple point of water?
Converting Rankine to the triple point of water helps translate Fahrenheit-based absolute temperatures into an internationally recognized fixed reference for calibration and standardization.

Key Terminology

Rankine [°R]
An absolute temperature scale using Fahrenheit degrees with zero at absolute zero, used mainly for thermodynamic and engineering calculations.
Triple point of water
The temperature and pressure at which water's solid, liquid, and vapor phases coexist in equilibrium, serving as a calibration reference.
