scale of measurement: scales of measurement

USAGE EXAMPLES

Uniqueness is not like pregnancy and marriage; it must be defined relative to some scale of measurement.

The Guardian(Aug 15, 2014)

“On almost any scale of measurement, ‘The Power of One,” has everything,” Christopher Lehmann-Haupt wrote in a review in The New York Times.

New York Times(Nov 24, 2012)

Second, they stress that we have only relative and no absolute scales of measurement.

Scientific American(Sep 28, 2012)

n an ordered reference standard

Syn|Hypo|Hyper

graduated table, ordered series, scale

Beaufort scale, wind scale

an international scale of wind force from 0 (calm air) to 12 (hurricane)

index

a numerical scale used to compare variables with one another or with some reference number

logarithmic scale

scale on which actual distances from the origin are proportional to the logarithms of the corresponding scale numbers

Mercalli scale

a scale formerly used to describe the magnitude of an earthquake; an earthquake detected only by seismographs is a I and an earthquake that destroys all buildings is a XII

Mohs scale

a scale of hardness of solids; talc is 0 and diamond is 10; ordering is determined by which substance can scratch another substance

Richter scale

a logarithmic scale of 1 to 10 formerly used to express the magnitude of an earthquake on the basis of the size of seismograph oscillations

moment magnitude scale

a logarithmic scale of 1 to 10 (a successor to the Richter scale) that enables seismologists to compare the energy released by different earthquakes on the basis of the area of the geological fault that ruptured in the quake

temperature scale

a system of measuring temperature

wage scale, wage schedule

a schedule of wages paid for different jobs

margin of error, margin of safety, safety margin

the margin required in order to insure safety

Celsius scale, centigrade scale, international scale

a temperature scale that defines the freezing point of water as 0 degrees and the boiling point of water as 100 degrees

Fahrenheit scale

a temperature scale that defines the freezing point of water as 32 degrees and the boiling point of water a 212 degrees

Kelvin scale, absolute scale

a temperature scale that defines absolute zero as 0 degrees; water freezes at 273.16 degrees and boils at 373.16 degrees

Rankine scale

a scale of absolute temperature in Fahrenheit degrees; the freezing point of water is 491.69 degrees and the boiling point of water is 671.69 degrees

Reaumur scale

a temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 80 degrees

sliding scale

a wage scale that fluctuates in response to the cost-of-living index

criterion, measure, standard, touchstone

a basis for comparison; a reference point against which other things can be evaluated
