Convert 70 degrees Fahrenheit to Rankine gives 530 Rankine. Because Rankine is an absolute temperature scale that starts at absolute zero like Kelvin, but uses Fahrenheit degrees, the conversion is straightforward.
To convert Fahrenheit to Rankine, you add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature. For 70°F, adding 459.67 results in 530.67 Rankine. This scale directly correlates with Fahrenheit but shifts the zero point to absolute zero, making it useful in thermodynamics.
Conversion Result
70 Fahrenheit is equal to 530.67 Rankine.

Conversion Formula
The conversion from Fahrenheit to Rankine is achieved by adding 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature. This works because Rankine is an absolute temperature scale like Kelvin, but uses Fahrenheit degrees. The formula is: Rankine = Fahrenheit + 459.67. For example, 70°F + 459.67 = 530.67°R.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50°F:
- Add 459.67: 50 + 459.67 = 509.67°R
- Result: 50°F equals 509.67 Rankine
- Convert 100°F:
- Add 459.67: 100 + 459.67 = 559.67°R
- Result: 100°F equals 559.67 Rankine
- Convert 0°F:
- Add 459.67: 0 + 459.67 = 459.67°R
- Result: 0°F equals 459.67 Rankine
- Convert -40°F:
- Add 459.67: -40 + 459.67 = 419.67°R
- Result: -40°F equals 419.67 Rankine

Conversion Definitions
Fahrenheit
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F under standard conditions, used mainly in the United States. It measures temperature based on human perception and the properties of water and ice.
Rankine
Rankine is an absolute temperature scale starting at absolute zero, with degrees equal in size to Fahrenheit degrees. It is used in thermodynamics to measure absolute temperature, with 0°R representing absolute zero and 530.67°R equivalent to 70°F.
Conversion FAQs
Why do I need to add 459.67 to Fahrenheit to get Rankine?
Because Rankine is an absolute scale based on Fahrenheit degrees, adding 459.67 shifts the zero point from the freezing point of water to absolute zero. This aligns the scales and allows direct temperature comparisons in thermodynamic calculations.
Can I convert Fahrenheit to Rankine without a calculator?
Yes, because the formula is simple: just add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature. For example, for 70°F, it becomes 70 + 459.67 = 530.67°R, which can be done mentally or with basic arithmetic.
What is the Rankine equivalent of freezing point of water?
The freezing point of water in Fahrenheit is 32°F, which converts to 491.67 Rankine (32 + 459.67). This marks the temperature at which water turns into ice in the Fahrenheit scale, expressed in absolute temperature units.
Does the conversion change at different temperatures?
No, the formula remains the same regardless of the temperature value. You always add 459.67 to the Fahrenheit temperature to get the Rankine equivalent, whether it’s hot or cold.
