Temperature Converter

Temperature Converter converts a temperature from one scale to another: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin or Rankine. Use it when sensor data, a supplier or an API uses a different scale from the one you report in.

Add the action

In the Process Designer toolbox, open Community-Made and pick Temperature Converter (or type Temperature Converter in the search box).

The Temperature Converter action properties: Temperature, From, To and Converted Temperature

Inputs and outputs

Field	Direction	Type	Required	What to put / what you get
Temperature	Input	Number (decimal)	Yes	The temperature to convert. Use a dot for decimals.
From	Input	Option list	Yes	The scale of Temperature: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin or Rankine.
To	Input	Option list	Yes	The scale you want.
Converted Temperature	Output	Number (decimal)	Yes	The converted temperature.

Example

Temperature	From	To	Converted Temperature
`100`	Celsius	Fahrenheit	`212`
`98.6`	Fahrenheit	Celsius	`37`
`36.6`	Celsius	Fahrenheit	`97.88`
`-40`	Celsius	Fahrenheit	`-40`
`0`	Celsius	Kelvin	`273.15`
`32`	Fahrenheit	Celsius	`0`

Good to know

The calculation uses limited precision, so some results carry a tiny error in the last digits (1 Kelvin to Rankine gives 1.8000488 instead of 1.8). Pass the result through Round when you need a clean value.
An empty Temperature is treated as 0 (empty Celsius to Kelvin gives 273.15). Make sure the input is filled.
Text that is not a number stops the step with an error.

Round, Multiply
