About the kelvin
Absolute temperature scale. Same size as Celsius, 0 K = absolute zero.
How degree Fahrenheit to kelvin conversion works
Temperature scales are affine: the result needs both a scale factor and a zero-point offset. That is why °F to K cannot be reduced to a simple percentage change.
The right unit depends on the convention used by your industry, country, instrument, or source document.
