Orifice Method Temperature Conversion Formula

All gas-dynamics calculations require absolute temperature. The Rankine scale is the absolute temperature scale in U.S. customary units, defined such that 0 °R equals absolute zero. The offset from Fahrenheit to Rankine is 459.67 degrees.

\begin{equation}\label{eq:orifice-method-temperature} T_R = T_F + 459.67 \end{equation}

Symbols
\(T_R\)Air temperature in degrees Rankine \([\unit{ \degreeRankine}]\)
\(T_F\)Compressed air temperature at the leak point \([\unit{ \degreeFahrenheit}]\)
\(459.67\)Fahrenheit-to-Rankine offset \([\unit{ \degreeRankine}]\)
