Syntax
SELECT [westclintech].[wct].[KELVIN] (
<@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

float
Remarks
· KELVIN is calculated according the following formula:
°K = °C + 237.15
°K = (°F + 459.67) * 5 / 9
°K = °R * 5 / 9
Example
select wct.KELVIN(100, 'C')
Here is the result set
