Divide by 1.59 to convert romer to newton.

Why is converting Rømer to Newton tricky?

The conversion factor requires careful attention to avoid reversing the operation.

Reference Temperatures

Absolute zero: -135.90375 °Rø = -90.1395 °N. Water freezing point: 7.5 °Rø = 0 °N. Room temperature: 18 °Rø = 6.6 °N. Body temperature: 26.925 °Rø = 12.21 °N. Water boiling point: 60 °Rø = 33 °N.

What is Rømer?

Rømer (°Rø) is a unit of temperature. The Rømer scale is an early temperature scale where water freezes at 7.5 °Rø and boils at 60 °Rø. It was devised to improve temperature measurement accuracy using mercury thermometers. One degree Rømer equals approximately 1.25 degrees Celsius [cgpm-resolutions]. Ole Christensen Rømer introduced this scale in 1701 to standardize temperature readings using mercury thermometers. It influenced later scales such as Celsius and Fahrenheit, representing an important step in temperature measurement history [cgpm-resolutions]. The Rømer scale is obsolete and used only for historical study. It has no current application in science or industry but remains significant in the chronology of temperature scale development [cgpm-resolutions].

What is Newton?

Newton (°N) is a unit of temperature. The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force required to accelerate a 1-kilogram mass by 1 meter per second squared. It equals 1 kg·m/s² and is standardized by the International System of Units for measurements of force in physics and engineering [bipm-si-brochure]. Named after Sir Isaac Newton in 1946, the newton was formally adopted by the CGPM as the SI unit of force to honor Newton's second law of motion. It replaced older, inconsistent force units to unify scientific measurements [cgpm-resolutions]. The newton is used worldwide in scientific research, engineering, and industry to quantify force. Countries and international standards bodies rely on the newton for mechanical calculations, material testing, and design [bipm-si-brochure].

Common Misspellings

People often search for this conversion using these alternate spellings: romer scale, roemer, romer temperature, römer, newton force, newtonn, newtton, newtons. All of these refer to the Rømer to Newton conversion.
