scipy.constants.convert_temperature

scipy.constants.convert_temperature(val, old_scale, new_scale)

Convert from a temperature scale to another one among Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Rankine scales.

Parameters:

valarray_like

Value(s) of the temperature(s) to be converted expressed in the original scale.

old_scalestr

Specifies as a string the original scale from which the temperature value(s) will be converted. Supported scales are Celsius (‘Celsius’, ‘celsius’, ‘C’ or ‘c’), Kelvin (‘Kelvin’, ‘kelvin’, ‘K’, ‘k’), Fahrenheit (‘Fahrenheit’, ‘fahrenheit’, ‘F’ or ‘f’), and Rankine (‘Rankine’, ‘rankine’, ‘R’, ‘r’).

new_scalestr

Specifies as a string the new scale to which the temperature value(s) will be converted. Supported scales are Celsius (‘Celsius’, ‘celsius’, ‘C’ or ‘c’), Kelvin (‘Kelvin’, ‘kelvin’, ‘K’, ‘k’), Fahrenheit (‘Fahrenheit’, ‘fahrenheit’, ‘F’ or ‘f’), and Rankine (‘Rankine’, ‘rankine’, ‘R’, ‘r’).

Returns:

resfloat or array of floats

Value(s) of the converted temperature(s) expressed in the new scale.

Notes

Added in version 0.18.0.
