Any scale can be used; the absolute, rational, thermodynamic based scale is the Kelvin scale.

The Kelvin scale is used in the scientific study of gases and very cold temperatures. It is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K is considered absolute zero, the point at which all molecular motion ceases.
The pH scale (not hP) is used to measure the acidity/basicity of an aqueous solution. It actually is a measure of the hydronium ion concentration. pH <7 is acidic; pH>7 is basic; pH=7 is neutral.
A spring scale or a dynamometer is typically used to measure the force or pull of gravity acting on an object.
You can use a balance scale or a digital scale to measure the mass of two objects. Place one object on each side of the scale and compare their weights to determine which is heavier.
Alcohol thermometers are typically used in households for measuring body temperature. Mercury thermometers are used in industrial and laboratory settings for their accuracy and wide temperature range. However, environmentally-friendly alternatives are encouraged due to the toxicity of mercury.
It can be used with any temperature. However the Kelvin scale (centigrade based on absolute zero) is often used for very cold temperatures, or for very hot temperatures, where it is practically the same as Celsius.

Alcohol thermometres are used to measure very low temperatures (upto -112 degree celsius).
as it cant be used to measure very low temperatures as it has a high freezing point(-38 degree celsius).
Many scales such as sound and PH are log scales. The scale used to measure earthquakes is also a log scale. Whenever the data has a very wide range, a log scale might help.
There are actually 3. But 2 of them are The Mercalli scale measures an earthquake's intensity which is the strength of the ground motion in a given place. It is not very accurate though. The Richter scale measures the size of seismic waves. It gives it a rating from 1 which is the lowest(can't be felt) to 9(deathly destruction) These 2 scales are very similiar.
Different types of thermometers are used to measure more extreme temperatures because each type has different working principles and temperature ranges in which they are most accurate. For example, liquid-in-glass thermometers are suitable for measuring moderate temperatures, while thermocouples are better for measuring very high or very low temperatures. Using specialized thermometers ensures accurate temperature readings in extreme conditions.
Whenever the data covers a very large range of values a log scale if very useful. Earthquakes and hearing are common examples.
I measure very small quantities on a postal scale
