TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE MEASUREMENTSThermodynamicsThe conversion of one temperature scale to another is sometimes required at nuclear facilities,and the operator should be acquainted with the process. The following two examples will behelpful.Example 1: Temperature Scale ConversionWhat is the Rankine equivalent of 80°C?Solution:°F = (9/5) °C + 32= (9/5)(80) + 32= 176 °F°R = °F + 460= 176 + 460= 636 °RExample 2: Temperature Scale ConversionWhat is the Kelvin equivalent of 80°F?Solution:°C = (5/9) (°F - 32)= (5/9) (80 - 32)= 26.7°C°K = °C + 273= 26.7 + 273= 299.7 °KHT-01 Page 8 Rev. 0
