Limitations
- Converts a temperature reading, not a temperature difference. A change of 10 °C is a change of 18 °F, using 9/5 without the +32 offset.
- Values below absolute zero (0 K, -273.15 °C, -459.67 °F) are physically impossible. The tool still calculates them but shows a warning.
- Rankine and Réaumur scales are not supported.
- Results show up to 2 decimal places. Values are not rounded during calculation, and a non-zero result that would display as 0 is shown in scientific notation.
