To convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to Kelvin (K), you can use the following conversion formula:
Conversion Formula
K = (°F – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
Example Conversions
Here are some examples to illustrate the conversion:
| Degrees Fahrenheit (°F) | Formula | Kelvin (K) |
|---|---|---|
| 32 °F | (32 – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 | 273.15 K |
| 50 °F | (50 – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 | 283.15 K |
| 68 °F | (68 – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 | 293.15 K |
| 86 °F | (86 – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 | 303.15 K |
| 104 °F | (104 – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 | 313.15 K |
How to Convert °F to K
- Identify the Temperature in Fahrenheit: For example, 77 °F.
- Apply the Conversion Formula:
- Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature.
- Multiply the result by 5/9.
- Add 273.15 to the result.
- For 77 °F:
- Calculation: (77 – 32) × 5/9 + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Practical Uses
- Scientific Calculations: Essential for scientific experiments and calculations where temperature needs to be in Kelvin.
- Engineering Applications: Useful in fields like thermodynamics where Kelvin is the standard unit of temperature.
Summary
To convert degrees Fahrenheit to Kelvin, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, multiply by 5/9, and then add 273.15. For instance, 68 °F is approximately 293.15 K, and 104 °F is about 313.15 K. This conversion is particularly useful in scientific and engineering contexts.
