2 K = 3.6 °R. Change the amount below, or read the formula and the reference table further down.

2 Kelvin equals

3.6Rankine

1 K = 1.8 °R

The formula

Kelvin and Rankine do not share a zero point, so the conversion needs an offset as well as a scale factor.

°R = (K × 1 − 273.15 + 273.15) ÷ 0.55555556
