Rankine is basically just a shifted Fahrenheit temperature scale.

[°R] = [°F] + 459.67

You can check this link for more info:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale

"The symbol is R (or Ra if to distinguish it from the Rømer and Réaumur scales). As with the Kelvin scale (symbol: K), zero on the Rankine scale is absolute zero, but the Rankine degree is defined as equal to one degree Fahrenheit, rather than the one degree Celsius used by the Kelvin scale. A temperature of -459.67 °F is exactly equal to 0 R."
