The name for the ratio of a diagram measurement to actual measurements is the scale.
The name of the scale that measures the weight of water is a "hydrometer."
The Beaufort Scale is used to measure wind.
Degrees Celsius is a unit of temperature measurement commonly used in the metric system. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. In this scale, water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure.
The spring scale got its name because it uses a spring to measure force or weight. The spring within the scale stretches or compresses based on the applied force, allowing for accurate measurement of the weight of an object.
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736).
The most common is called the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Scale, but there is many that are used worldwide.
A nominal scale is the most basic form of measurement. Notice that the word nominal comes from the same root as the word name. So to use a nominal scale is essentially to name. For instance, I can 'measure' the religion of each person in a sample by assigning a broad religious category from the set {Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Animalist, ...} to each person. This would be the use of a nominal scale. For more, you might visit the wikipedia page about level of measurement.
Mark Twain
The Fahrenheit system of temperature measurement. Actually he invented the thermometer.
Mark Twain had a wife named Olivia and three daughters. There names were Susy, Clara, and Jean. Mark Twain's birth name isn't Mark Twain, Mark Twain is a water depth measurement. Mark Twain's real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Hopes this helps! thank you
Ratio is the highest level of measurement in that the data can be ordered, the distance between the values are meaningful, and there is a natural zero. Examples of Ratio measurement would be weight, height, money, age, and distance. From the related link "The ratio scale of measurement is the most informative scale. It is an interval scale with the additional property that its zero position indicates the absence of the quantity being measured. You can think of a ratio scale as the three earlier scales rolled up in one. Like a nominal scale, it provides a name or category for each object (the numbers serve as labels). Like an ordinal scale, the objects are ordered (in terms of the ordering of the numbers). Like an interval scale, the same difference at two places on the scale has the same meaning. And in addition, the same ratio at two places on the scale also carries the same meaning."
