Kelvin (K)

System: SI

Definition:Defined based on the Boltzmann constant. The zero point (0 K) is absolute zero, the theoretical minimum temperature. Water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K.

Origin: Named after the Irish physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin.

Common Usage: Used primarily in science and engineering.

Rankine (°R)

System: Imperial

Definition:The Rankine scale is based on the Fahrenheit scale, with its zero point at absolute zero. 0 °Ra = 0 K. Water freezes at 491.67 °Ra and boils at 671.67 °Ra.

Origin: Named after the Scottish engineer and physicist William John Macquorn Rankine.

Common Usage: Used in some engineering fields in the United States.

Synonyms: °Ra
