Understanding and converting temperature units can be a challenge, especially when dealing with lesser-known scales like Réaumur or Delisle. This free online Temperature Converter simplifies the process by allowing users to easily convert values between eight different temperature units: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, Rankine, Réaumur, Delisle, Newton, and Rømer.

How to Use the Temperature Converter

Using this converter is simple and user-friendly:

  1. Enter the Temperature Value: Input any numeric value into the field labeled “Enter value.”

  2. Choose the Input Unit: Select the temperature scale the value is currently in (e.g., Celsius, Fahrenheit, etc.).

  3. Select the Output Unit: Choose the unit you wish to convert the temperature into.

  4. Click “Convert”: Instantly get the converted result.

  5. Swap Units: Use the “Swap” button to quickly reverse the input and output units.

The tool supports floating-point numbers, making it suitable for both casual and scientific uses.

Supported Temperature Units

  • Celsius (°C): The most commonly used scale worldwide, where water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C.

  • Fahrenheit (°F): Common in the United States, where water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F.

  • Kelvin (K): An absolute temperature scale used primarily in scientific contexts. Zero Kelvin represents absolute zero.

  • Rankine (°R): Similar to Kelvin but based on Fahrenheit intervals. Common in thermodynamic engineering.

  • Réaumur (°Ré): A historical scale where water freezes at 0°Ré and boils at 80°Ré.

  • Delisle (°De): A rare historical scale where water boils at 0°De and freezes at 150°De.

  • Newton (°N): Based on Isaac Newton’s measurements, freezing at 0°N and boiling at 33°N.

  • Rømer (°Rø): An early scale where water freezes at 7.5°Rø and boils at 60°Rø.

Why Use This Temperature Converter?

  • Instant Results: Convert between any two temperature units within seconds.

  • Easy to Use: Designed with simplicity in mind, ideal for students, scientists, and engineers.

  • Responsive Design: Fully mobile-friendly, works on all devices.

  • Historical Scales Included: Go beyond the basics with support for rare and obsolete units.

Common Use Cases

  • Students verifying temperature conversions for homework.

  • Engineers and scientists needing precise calculations across various units.

  • Historians or researchers dealing with old temperature measurements.

  • Anyone curious about how different temperature scales relate.

About the Converter Tool

This tool uses Celsius as an intermediate base for conversions. It first transforms the input into Celsius and then converts it into the target unit. This method ensures high accuracy and consistency across all conversion types.
