About Converting Rankines to Romers
Rankine and Romer are both historical temperature scales no longer in everyday use — this conversion is mainly useful for historical reference or comparing older scientific texts against each other.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 = -135.90375 °C
0 rankines = -135.90375 romers.
Real-world example
(0 − 32) × 5/9 = -135.90375 °C
0 rankines = -135.90375 romers.

Frequently asked questions
How many romers are in 1 rankine?
1 rankine equals -135.6120833 romers, using the offset temperature formula rather than an estimate.
How do I convert rankine to romer?
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 romer back to rankine?
Use the reverse factor: 1 romer equals 469.3842857 rankines. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a rankine?
Rankine (R) is a unit of temperature.
What is a romer?
Romer (Ro) is a unit of temperature.
Is the Rankine to Romer 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.
