195 °F to °C
In the kitchen, 195 °F is the point where collagen is well on its way to gelatin, but ribs are usually not quite there.
The formula
(°F − 32) × 5/9 = °C
(195 − 32) × 5/9 = 90.6 °C

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 195 °F in °C?
195 °F equals 90.6 °C. In cooking terms it is the point where collagen is well on its way to gelatin, but ribs are usually not quite there.
What is the formula?
Subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9. So (195 − 32) × 5/9 = 90.6 °C.
Do I need to be exact?
For pit temperatures, no — a smoker swinging 15 °F either side of target is normal and fine. For internal temperatures, yes: the difference between medium rare and medium is about 10 °F, which is well inside the range where rounding matters.
