Temperature Converter
Convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine, Réaumur, Rømer, Newton, and Delisle with configurable rounding and explicit shareable permalinks.
How to Use
- Enter a temperature value.
- Select the source scale.
- Choose how many decimal places to round to.
- View the converted values for all supported scales.
- Use Share Link only when you want to create a permalink.
Kelvin cannot be negative in physical temperature use, but the tool will still validate and display deterministic math according to the selected scale rules in JS.
Converted Values
All supported scales update from the same source value.
Fahrenheit
Kelvin
Rankine
Réaumur
Rømer
Newton
Delisle
Details / Reference
Base Strategy
The converter normalizes the source value to a base temperature in Celsius, then derives all other scales from that normalized value.
Common Formulas
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32K = °C + 273.15°R = K × 9/5°Ré = °C × 4/5°Rø = (°C × 21/40) + 7.5°N = °C × 33/100°De = (100 − °C) × 3/2
FAQ
Why are Kelvin and Rankine offset scales?
Both start at absolute zero, but Kelvin uses Celsius-sized degrees while Rankine uses Fahrenheit-sized degrees.
Why can Delisle go down as Celsius goes up?
Delisle is an inverted historical scale, so larger Celsius values produce smaller Delisle values.
Does rounding change the actual conversion?
No. Rounding only affects display output. The underlying conversion logic should remain deterministic in the JS layer.
Will the page URL change while I type?
No. The permalink should only be generated when the Share Link action is used.
