Formula – How to calculate Rømer

To Rømer (°Rø)From Rømer (°Rø)
Celsius (°C)(°C x 21/40) + 7.5 = °Rø(°Rø – 7.5) x 40 / 21 = °C
Fahrenheit (°F)((°F – 32) x 7 / 24) + 7.5 = °Rø((°Rø – 7.5) x 24/7) + 32 = °F
Kelvin (K)((K – 273.15) x 21/40) + 7.5 = °Rø((°Rø – 7.5) x 40/21) + 273.15 = K
Rankine (°R)((°R – 491.67) x 7/24) + 7.5 = °Rø((°Rø – 7.5) x 24 / 7) + 491.67 = °R
Newton (°N)(°N x 35/22) + 7.5 = °Rø(°Rø – 7.5) x 22/35 = °N
Réaumur (°Ré)(°Ré x 21/32) + 7.5 = °Rø(°Rø – 7.5) x 32/21 = °Rø
Delisle (°De)60 – (°De x 7/20) = °Rø(60 – °Rø) x 20/7 = De

What is the Rømer temperature scale?

Rømer is a temperature scale based on the freezing point of brine as 0°and the boiling point of water as 60°. 7.5°Rø is the freezing point of water.

While the Rømer scale never became widely used, it was a precursor to the Fahrenheit scale (which used larger intervals for freezing and boiling points). The inventor of the scale also popularized the idea of a sealed tube to measure temperature (to avoid changes in air pressure).
