Unit conversions
Temperature converter
Explain this equation
Converts a temperature between °C, °F and kelvin. Use it when reading imperial or scientific data.
Value is the temperature you enter. Result is the same temperature in the scale you pick.
The equation is result = value because the temperature itself is unchanged; only the scale changes. Unlike the other converters this is not a single multiplier: the scales have different zero points. °F = °C × 9/5 + 32 and K = °C + 273.15.
Sense check: 0 °C is 32 °F and 273.15 K. 60 °C is 140 °F. 100 °C is 212 °F.
Watch out: this converts actual temperatures, not temperature differences. A difference of 10 K is 18 °F difference, not 50 °F. Values below absolute zero are rejected.
Enter your values to see the result.
Good to know
Choose another compatible output unit beside the answer. UK and US gallons are separate; Btu uses the International Table definition.
