The reason you're having issues converting superheat in Kelvin to Fahrenheit is that it's not Fahrenheit you're converting to. Superheat, etc, use an absolute scale, Rankine (Fahrenheit) and Kelvin (Celcius). Chuck "10 degrees Kelvin in Rankine" into Google and that'll give you what you want. You can only really convert between Rankine and Kelvin, and Fahrenheit and Celcius, not between all four.
Listening to your podcast on EMS and wondering which connectors you were mentioning that were Ferrules which you said you used for the grounds on MicroThermo boards.
