What Is This Tool?
This online converter transforms temperature values from the Réaumur scale, a historical temperature measurement, to the Kelvin scale, the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature. It helps interpret and convert legacy temperature data into a modern absolute scale used widely in science and engineering.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the temperature value in Réaumur [°r]
- Select Réaumur as the input unit and Kelvin as the output unit
- Click the convert button to get the temperature in Kelvin [K]
- Use the converted value for scientific analysis or reference
Key Features
- Converts temperatures from Réaumur [°r] to Kelvin [K]
- Based on the defined conversion rate: 1 °r equals 1.25 K
- Supports interpreting historical meteorological and scientific records
- Useful for calibrating antique thermometers and laboratory devices
- Browser-based and easy to use without software installation
Examples
- 10 °r converts to 12.5 K
- 20 °r converts to 25 K
Common Use Cases
- Interpreting historical climate and meteorological data recorded in °Ré
- Calibrating or reading antique instruments that use the Réaumur scale
- Converting traditional or legacy industrial temperature specifications referencing Réaumur
- Applying thermodynamic temperature measurements in scientific research including cryogenics and astrophysics
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure the input temperatures are measured at standard atmospheric pressure for accurate conversion
- Use converted Kelvin values in scientific calculations requiring absolute temperature
- Recognize that Réaumur is largely obsolete and conversions serve mainly historical and specialized contexts
- Double-check historical data context when interpreting old temperature records
Limitations
- Réaumur is an outdated scale rarely used in modern measurements
- Conversion assumes standard atmospheric pressure conditions
- Kelvin is an absolute scale; be mindful of zero-point reference shifts when converting from relative scales
- Conversion tool does not account for variations outside standard conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Réaumur temperature scale?
- The Réaumur scale is a historical temperature measurement where 0 °Ré is the freezing point of water and 80 °Ré is the boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.
- How do I convert Réaumur to Kelvin?
- Multiply the temperature in Réaumur by 1.25 to obtain the temperature in Kelvin.
- Why is Kelvin used for temperature measurement?
- Kelvin is the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature, measured on an absolute scale with 0 K at absolute zero.
Key Terminology
- Réaumur Scale
- A historical temperature scale where 0 °Ré is freezing and 80 °Ré is boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.
- Kelvin
- The SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature, defined with absolute zero as 0 K and equal magnitude to one degree Celsius.
- Standard Atmospheric Pressure
- A reference pressure condition under which the Réaumur scale is defined and conversion assumes validity.
