octane rating
standard measure of an engine or aviation fuel's ability to withstand compression without detonating
Scoville scale
scale for measuring heat of peppers
Kinsey scale
social distribution of sexual orientation
Kardashev scale
Proposed scale by which the scope of a civilisation might be measured
TNT equivalent
class of units of measurement for explosive energy
Brinell hardness test
The way to measure the hardness of a material is with a special tool called an indenter, which is pressed into the material and the larger the cavity, the harder the material.
cetane number
Performance measurement of diesel fuel
Vernier scale
auxiliary scale of a measurement device, that aids to increase measurement precision
refractometer
thumb|Hand-held refractometer A refractometer is a laboratory or field device for the measurement of an index of refraction (refractometry). The index of refraction is calculated from the observed refraction angle using Snell's law. For mixtures, the index of refraction then allows the concentration to be determined using mixing rules such as the Gladstone–Dale relation and Lorentz–Lorenz equation.
allometry
Allometry (Ancient Greek "other", "measurement") is the study of the relationship of body size to shape, anatomy, physiology and behaviour, first outlined by Otto Snell in 1892, by D'Arcy Thompson in 1917 in On Growth and Form and by Julian Huxley in 1932.
Bortle Dark-Sky Scale
scale of night sky brightness
scale
proportional ratio of a linear dimension of a model to the same feature of the original
Danjon scale
scale used for measuring lunar eclipse
Allport's Scale
Measure of social prejudice
tachymeter
A tachymeter scale is a scale sometimes inscribed around the rim of an analog watch
bark scale
auditory frequency metric
mel scale
conceptual scale
Ringelmann scale
scale for measuring the opacity of smoke
linear scale
graphical representation of the ratio between distance on a map and distance in the real world
Borg scale
scale of perceived exhaustion
Stanine
Stanine (STAndard NINE) is a method of scaling test scores on a nine-point standard scale with a mean of five and a standard deviation of two.
microparticle
Microparticles are particles between 0.1 and 100 μm in size. Commercially available microparticles are available in a wide variety of materials, including ceramics, glass, polymers, and metals. Microparticles encountered in daily life include pollen, sand, dust, flour, and powdered sugar. The study of microparticles has been called micromeritics, although this term is not very common.
Benjamin scale
transsexualism typology
Antoniadi scale
weather conditions categorization system
