Convert degrees Rankine to degrees Newton with this simple formula:
degrees Newton = ( [°R] - 491.67 ) × 11 / 60
Insert the [°R] temperature measurement in the formula and then solve to find the result.
For example, let's convert 50 °R to degrees Newton:
50 °R = ( ( 50 - 491.67 ) × 11 / 60 ) = -80.972833 °N
The Rankine scale and the Newton scale are both used to measure temperature. Read on to learn more about each of them.
What Is Rankine?
The Rankine scale is an absolute temperature scale that uses absolute zero as the starting point, much like the Kelvin scale. The key difference between the Rankine scale and the Kelvin scale is that an increment of one degree rankine is equal to an increment of one degree Fahrenheit, not Celsius as in the Kelvin scale. The base of the Rankine scale starts at absolute zero, thus 0 degrees rankine are equal to −459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rankine can be abbreviated as R, and are also sometimes abbreviated as Ra. For example, 1 degree Rankine can be written as 1 °R or 1 Ra.

What Is Newton?
The Newton scale is a temperature scale that sets a fixed zero point equal to the freezing point water. The scale uses both arithmetic progression and geometric progression. The scale defines 18 reference points and the corresponding "degrees of heat" and geometric progressions.
Newton can be abbreviated as N; for example, 1 degree Newton can be written as 1 °N.
