Questions fréquentes

What is the Delisle scale?

The Delisle scale (°De) is an obsolete temperature scale where water boils at 0°De and freezes at 150°De. It decreases as temperature increases.

How do I convert Rankine to Delisle manually?

Use the formula: °De = (491.67 - °R) × 5/6. For example, 500°R gives (491.67 - 500) × 5/6 = -6.94°De.

Can I convert Delisle back to Rankine?

Yes, the reverse formula is °R = 491.67 - (°De × 6/5).

Rankine to Delisle

°De = (491.67 - °R) × 5/6

The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale with zero at absolute zero. The Delisle scale is inverted, so higher Rankine gives lower Delisle.

Example:

Input: °R = 671.67

Calculation: (491.67 - 671.67) × 5/6 = -180 × 5/6

Result: -150°De

Conseils et erreurs courantes

Tips

  • Remember that Delisle is an inverted scale: lower Delisle means higher temperature.
  • Absolute zero in Rankine is 0°R, which corresponds to 491.67°De.
  • Water freezes at 491.67°R (32°F) and boils at 671.67°R (212°F).
  • Use the calculator for quick conversions, but verify with manual math for critical work.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to subtract 491.67 before multiplying by 5/6.
  • Confusing the direction: higher Rankine gives lower Delisle.
  • Using the freezing point of water (491.67°R) as the boiling point.

Hypothèses et limites

  • Use the stated inputs and units.
  • Results are estimates for planning and education.
  • Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
