2

Fahrenheit (°F)

[°F] = [°C] × 9/5 + 32

3

Kelvin (K)

[K] = [°C] + 273.15

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

4

Rankine (°R)

[°R] = ([°C] + 273.15) × 9/5

5

Delisle (°D)

[°De] = (100 - [°C]) × 3/2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delisle_scale

6

Newton (°N)

[°N] = [°C] × 33/100

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_scale

7

Réaumur (°Ré)

[°Ré] = [°C] × 4/5

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9aumur_scale

8

Rømer (°Rø)

[°Rø] = [°C] × 21/40 + 7.5

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B8mer_scale

 

All the above definitions of the various units are EXACT.

 

Type of conversion relationship: LINEAR (y=ax+b)

Example conversion diagram (see two units in bold above):

Temperature

To find where the line crosses the y-axis (where [°F]=0):

0 = [°C] × 9/5 + 32 => [°C] = -32*5/9 => [°C] = -160/9
