About Converting Newtons to Delisles
Newton and Delisle are both historical temperature scales no longer in everyday use — this conversion is mainly useful for historical reference or comparing older scientific texts against each other.
Formula
Convert the source temperature to Kelvin, then convert Kelvin to the target scale.
Both scales are converted through Kelvin as a common absolute reference point.
Simple example
(0 − 32) × 5/9 = 150 °C
0 newtons = 150 delisles.
Real-world example
(0 − 32) × 5/9 = 150 °C
0 newtons = 150 delisles.

Frequently asked questions
How many delisles are in 1 newton?
1 newton equals 145.4545455 delisles, using the offset temperature formula rather than an estimate.
How do I convert newton to delisle?
Use the formula shown above: it involves both a multiplication and an addition/subtraction because the two scales don't share a common zero point.
How do I convert delisle back to newton?
Use the reverse factor: 1 delisle equals 32.78 newtons. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a newton?
Newton (N) is a unit of temperature.
What is a delisle?
Delisle (De) is a unit of temperature.
Is the Newton to Delisle conversion exact?
Yes. Both scales are formally defined relative to the Kelvin scale, so the conversion formula is exact — the only rounding involved is in how many decimal places you choose to display.
