scipy.constants.K2C(*args, **kwds)[source]

K2C is deprecated! scipy.constants.K2C is deprecated in scipy 0.18.0. Use scipy.constants.convert_teperature instead. Note that the new function has a different signature.

Convert Kelvin to Celsius
Parameters:

K : array_like

Kelvin temperature(s) to be converted.

Returns:

C : float or array of floats

Equivalent Celsius temperature(s).

Notes

Computes C = K - zero_Celsius where zero_Celsius = 273.15, i.e., (the absolute value of) temperature “absolute zero” as measured in Celsius.

Examples

>>> from scipy.constants import K2C
>>> K2C(np.array([233.15, 313.15]))
array([-40.,  40.])
