The Réaumur and Fahrenheit scales are both temperature scales with historical significance. While Fahrenheit remains in common use in some parts of the world, Réaumur is largely obsolete. However, understanding the conversion between these scales can be valuable for historical research, scientific data analysis, and expanding your knowledge of temperature measurement systems.
The Réaumur scale, developed by French scientist René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730, is a temperature scale where the freezing point of water is 0°R, and the boiling point of water is 80°R.
The Fahrenheit scale, invented by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, is widely used in the United States. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F, and the boiling point of water is 212°F.
The formula to convert Réaumur to Fahrenheit is:
**Fahrenheit (°F) = (Réaumur (°R) * 9/4) + 32**
To make the conversion process easier, we've created a simple online calculator:

Simply enter the temperature in Réaumur degrees (°R) into the calculator, and it will instantly display the equivalent temperature in Fahrenheit degrees (°F).
Let's say you have a temperature of 20°R. To convert this to Fahrenheit:
