TABLE 8 - SI METRIC CONVERSION
TEMPERATURE
To convert degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to degrees Celsius
(°C), subtract 32° and multiply by 5/9 or 0.5556.
Ex: (45.0°F - 32°) • 0.5556 = 27.2°C
To convert a temperature range (i.e., a range of 10°F)
from Fahrenheit to Celsius, multiply by 5/9 or 0.5556.
Ex: 10.0°F range • 0.5556 = 5.6 °C range
