  • Temperature Unit Conversion Formulas. There's no complicated math required to convert one temperature unit to another. Simple addition and subtraction will get you through conversions between the Kelvin and Celsius temperature scales. Fahrenheit involves a bit of multiplication, but it's nothing you can't handle.
  • Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper. The formula to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit is: Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 1.8) + 32.

Temperature Metric Conversions. Please select the temperature units to start metric conversion. Because they both start at zero, the formula to convert between the two very easy (in = cm. 0.39370) Temperature units aren't built in the same simple way, because they don't all. Free online temperature converter - converts between 6 units of temperature, including kelvin K, Celsius °C, Fahrenheit °F, Rankine °R, etc. Also, explore many other unit converters or learn more about temperature unit conversions.

This is a collection of temperatureconversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.

* Normal human body temperature is 36.8 °C ±0.7 °C, or 98.2 °F ±1.3 °F. The commonly given value 98.6 °F is simply the exact conversion of the nineteenth-century German standard of 37 °C. Since it does not list an acceptable range, it could therefore be said to have excess (invalid) precision.[4]
