Key Features

  • Converts thermal expansion coefficients from length/length/degree Réaumur to length/length/kelvin [1/K]
  • Uses a precise conversion rate where 1 per °Ré equals 0.8 per K
  • Supports analysis of historical apparatus and materials with Réaumur temperature data
  • Browser-based and easy to use with no installation necessary

Examples

  • 2 length/length/degree Reaumur converts to 1.6 length/length/kelvin [1/K]
  • 0.5 length/length/degree Reaumur converts to 0.4 length/length/kelvin [1/K]

Common Use Cases

  • Computing thermal expansion for historical instruments and materials calibrated in degrees Réaumur
  • Converting archived expansion coefficients for modern engineering and scientific analysis
  • Evaluating old boilers, engineering drawings, or apparatus with Réaumur-based thermal data
  • Material design and thermal stress calculations involving thermal expansion coefficients

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure historical temperature data is correctly interpreted on the Réaumur scale before conversion
  • Use the tool to adapt old data to modern SI units for consistent material property analysis
  • Confirm the linear relationship assumption between scales when applying converted coefficients
  • Cross-check converted values when restoring or analyzing vintage instruments or materials

Limitations

  • Conversion relies on the linear relationship between Réaumur degrees and kelvin; interpret with care
  • Réaumur scale is mostly obsolete, so this conversion has limited use for current measurements
  • Accuracy depends on uniformity of original temperature scales and data quality
  • May not apply to non-linear or complex thermal expansion behaviors

Frequently Asked Questions

What is length/length/degree Réaumur used for?
It is a coefficient of linear thermal expansion indicating fractional length change per degree Réaumur temperature change, used primarily for historical materials and instruments measured on the Réaumur scale.

Why convert from length/length/degree Réaumur to length/length/kelvin?
To translate historical thermal expansion data recorded in degrees Réaumur into the modern SI unit per kelvin, enabling consistent engineering and scientific analysis.

How does the conversion between per °Ré and per K work?
Because 1 degree Réaumur equals 1.25 kelvin, the coefficient per °Ré equals 1.25 times the per kelvin value; the converter uses the formula 1 per °Ré = 0.8 per K.

Key Terminology

Length/length/degree Réaumur
