Temperature Calculator - Conversion

Temperature Calculator

Temperature Calculator - Conversion is used to convert temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin scales. It provides a solution in a few seconds just enter a temperature in any of the three scales and get a similar temperature in the other two scales.

Temperature Conversion:

Temperature conversion is a method of converting the temperature value from one temperature scale to another. There are three temperature scales used to measure the temperature such as Celsius (C), Fahrenheit (F), and Kelvin (K).

The conversion finds out using mathematical formulas in the form of numerical values of temperature from one scale to another scale.

Formulas for conversion:

Here are the formulas used for conversion.

Celsius to Fahrenheit

F = (C x 1.8) + 32

Fahrenheit to Celsius

C = (F - 32) / 1.8

Celsius-to-Kelvin

K = C + 273

Kelvin to Celsius

C = K - 273

Fahrenheit-to-kelvin

K = (F + 459.67) x 5/9

Kelvin to Fahrenheit

F = K x 9/5 - 459.67

How to convert the temperature?

Example 1:

If the temperature of the body is 37 Celsius then convert them into another scale.

Solution:

Step 1:

Write the given data.

C = 37⁰, F =?, K =?

Step 2:

Write the formulas of temperature for Kelvin and Fahrenheit.

F = (C x 1.8) + 32

K = C + 273.15

Step 3:

Put the values in the above formula and simplify.

C = 37⁰

F = (37⁰ x 1.8) + 32

F = 66.6 + 32

F = 98.6⁰

K = C + 273

K = 37⁰ + 273

K = 310

Example 2:

If the temperature of the body is 59 Kelvin then convert them into another scale.

Solution:

Step 1:

Write the given data.

K = 59, C =?, F =?.

Step 2:

Write the formulas of temperature for Celsius and Fahrenheit.

F = (K x 9/5) - 459.67

C = K - 273

Step 3:

Put the values in the above formula and simplify.

K = 59

F = (K x 9/5) - 459.67

F = (59 x 9/5) - 459.67

F = 106.2 - 459.67

F = - 353.47

C = K – 273

C = 59 - 273

C = - 214
