scipy.constants.F2K

scipy.constants.F2K(*args, **kwds)[source]

F2K is deprecated! scipy.constants.F2K is deprecated in scipy 0.18.0. Use scipy.constants.convert_temperature instead. Note that the new function has a different signature.

Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin
Parameters:

F : array_like

Fahrenheit temperature(s) to be converted.

Returns:

K : float or array of floats

Equivalent Kelvin temperature(s).

Notes

Computes K = (F - 32)/1.8 + zero_Celsius where zero_Celsius = 273.15, i.e., (the absolute value of) temperature “absolute zero” as measured in Celsius.

Examples

>>> from scipy.constants import F2K
>>> F2K(np.array([-40, 104]))
array([ 233.15,  313.15])
