I just ordered myself a compunurse temp probe that only reads out in degrees c. I looked around in my books, etc and can't find a handy conversion chart to degrees f. Lessee, c=5\9ths f-+32 divided by 3 times four. I'm outta the mood to care by the time I convert. Just maybe something I can download and print out.

i thought the formula was much much simpler.

C*1.8+32=F


10C times 1.8 is
18 plus 32 is
50F

am i using the wrong formula?

Same difference! Still have to figure it up. I just wanted a chart to print out without ripping a page out of my book.

That will convert, thanks. What I am really looking for is a printable conversion table shown in 1 degree increments c. I have found many that are in 5 degree increments, etc. The one degree ones I have found only go in certain ranges (all wrong). I can find very cold to fairly warm ranges. What I would like is,say -10c to 100c range, or in that area. I just want to make it about card sized on a copier or whatever and print it.

sorry, haven't seen one of those.

i guess (you wont like this) you could sit down one afternoon and convert them all (just add 1.8 to the previous number) and make your own. or you could use excel to create a formula that does it automatically.

try using this little app instead!! Someone coded it and put it up on the forums about couple of months ago- credit to the authors!!! I use this bad boy almost every day.

Well, tried it and it works fine. Guess I will have to sit down and convert my own in the range I want and type it up (I hate typing).
I can only get 30 wpm on a good day with a keyboard. Give me some power tools though and look out!
