  • Conversion relies on a linear scale factor without accounting for freezing point offsets.
  • Not suitable for precise scientific calculations requiring detailed offset conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Reaumur temperature scale?
The Réaumur scale is an old temperature scale where 0°Ré is the freezing point and 80°Ré the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.

Where is Fahrenheit commonly used?
Fahrenheit is widely used in the United States for weather forecasts, home heating/cooling settings, and cooking temperatures.

Why convert from Reaumur to Fahrenheit?
Conversion is useful for interpreting historical data, restoring antique instruments, and adapting legacy temperatures to modern Fahrenheit measurements.

Key Terminology

Réaumur Scale
A historical temperature scale with 0°Ré as water’s freezing point and 80°Ré as boiling point at standard pressure.
Fahrenheit Scale
A temperature scale with water freezing at 32 °F and boiling at 212 °F under normal atmospheric conditions.
Conversion Rate
The numerical factor used to convert values between two units, here 1 °Ré equals 2.25 °F.
