FAHRENHEIT
Updated: 01 December 2008
Use FAHRENHEIT to convert from Celsius, Kelvin, or Rankine to Fahrenheit.
Syntax
SELECT [westclintech].[wct].[FAHRENHEIT] (
<@Temperature, float,>
,<@From_scale, nvarchar(4000),>)
Arguments
@Temperature
is any real number. @Temperature is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
@From_scale
is the description of the units for @Temperature. @From_scale must be a valid value as specified in temperature unit representations. @From_scale must be of a data type that is implicitly convertible to varchar.
Return Types
float
Remarks
· FAHRENHEIT is calculated according the following formula:
°F = °C * 9 / 5 + 32
°F = °K * 9 / 5 - 459.67
°F = °R - 459.67
Example
select wct.FAHRENHEIT(100, 'K')
Here is the result set
----------------------
-279.67
