#scale_of_measurement__scale__graduated_table__graduatedtable__ordered_series an ordered reference standard: "judging on a scale of 1 to 10"
supertype: touchstone__standard__criterion__measure a basis for comparison; a reference point against which other things can be evaluated; "they set the measure for all subsequent work"
subtype: Beaufort_scale__wind_scale an international scale of wind force from 0 (calm air) to 12 (hurricane)
subtype: index a numerical scale used to compare variables with one another or with some reference number
subtype: margin_of_safety__safety_margin__margin_of_error an index indicating the amount beyond the minimum necessary; "in engineering the margin of safety is the strength of the material minus the anticipated stress"
subtype: logarithmic_scale__logarithmicscale scale on which actual distances from the origin are proportional to the logarithms of the corresponding scale numbers
subtype: Mercalli_scale a scale of earthquake intensity; an earthquake detected only by seismographs is a I and an earthquake that destroys all buildings is a XII
subtype: 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
subtype: Richter_scale a logarithmic scale of 1 to 10 used to express the energy released by an earthquake
subtype: temperature_scale__temperaturescale a system of measuring temperature
subtype: Celsius_scale__international_scale__internationalscale__centigrade_scale a temperature scale that defines the freezing point of water as 0 degrees and the boiling point of water as 100 degrees
subtype: Fahrenheit_scale a temperature scale that defines the freezing point of water as 32 degrees and the boiling point of water a 212 degrees
subtype: 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
subtype: 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
subtype: Reaumur_scale a temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 80 degrees
subtype: wage_scale__wage_schedule a schedule of wages paid for different jobs
subtype: sliding_scale__slidingscale a wage scale that fluctuates in response to the cost-of-living index
