The Rmer scale and the Fahrenheit scale are both temperature scales with historical significance. While Fahrenheit remains in common use in some parts of the world, Rømer is largely obsolete. However, understanding the conversion between these scales can be valuable for historical research or scientific data analysis. This blog post will guide you through the Rmer to Fahrenheit conversion process and provide a handy online calculator.
The Rømer scale was developed by Danish astronomer Ole Rømer in 1701. It is a descending scale where the freezing point of brine (a mixture of salt and water) is 0°Rø, and the boiling point of water is 60°Rø.
The Fahrenheit scale, invented by German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724, is widely used, particularly in the United States. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32°F, and the boiling point of water is 212F.
The formula to convert Rømer to Fahrenheit is:
**Fahrenheit (°F) = (Rømer (°Rø) * (21/40)) + 32**
To make the conversion process easier, we've created a simple online calculator:

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