Rankine to Delisle
Please provide values below to convert Rankine [°R] to Delisle [°D], or change ↔.
Rankine [°R]
Definition: The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale where 0°R is absolute zero, and the degree increments are the same as those in the Fahrenheit scale.
Historyandorigin: It was named after the Scottish physicist William John Macquorn Rankine. It was introduced in the 19th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in some engineering applications, particularly in the United States.
funfact: The Rankine scale is similar to the Fahrenheit scale but starts at absolute zero.
Delisle [°D]
Definition: The Delisle scale (°D) is a temperature scale where 0°D corresponds to the boiling point of water and 150°D corresponds to the freezing point of water.
Historyandorigin: Created by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in 1732, the scale was used in Russia for some time before being replaced by the Celsius scale.
funfact: Unlike most temperature scales, Delisle is an inverse scale—higher temperatures correspond to lower values.
CurrentUse: The Delisle scale is mostly of historical interest and is rarely used today.
