212 Fahrenheit to Kelvin
212 °F = 373.15 K
212 degrees Fahrenheit equals 373.15 kelvins.
How to convert 212 °F to K
Use the formula K = (°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15:
K = (212 − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15K = 100 + 273.15K = 373.15
So 212 °F = 373.15 K.
Rounded values and quick estimate
- Rounded to a whole number: 373 K
- Rounded to one decimal place: 373.2 K
212 Fahrenheit in other units
This is the boiling point of water at sea level (standard atmospheric pressure), defined as 212 °F. At higher altitudes water boils at a lower temperature.
100 °C is around the boiling point of water (100 °C / 212 °F at sea level), relevant for boiling, steaming and pressure cooking.

About fahrenheit and kelvin
The Fahrenheit scale puts water’s freezing point at 32 °F and boiling point at 212 °F. It is the everyday temperature scale in the United States.
The kelvin is the SI unit of temperature. It starts at absolute zero (0 K = −273.15 °C) and uses degrees the same size as Celsius, so it never goes negative.
