	Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, for a scale model of an object, the ratio of corresponding lengths is a dimensionless scale, e.g.
		Correspondingly, torques could be represented on the same map by areas in a scale of 1 m² : 12 500 Nm, which is equal to 1 m : 12 500 N. Torques in the plane of the map could be represented by arrows with an independent scale of e.g.
		a map of scale 1:50,000 shows a distance of 50,000 cm (=500 m) as 1 cm on a map, and a model on a scale 1:25 of a building with a height of 30 m has a model height of 1.20 m.

		When determining the population of armored scales in the grove, it is important to remember that the armor of dead scales will stay on the tree for some time and confuse the living scale count.
		The scales appear to prefer fruit to leaves in the late summer and fall, and the fruit may be heavily infested while adjacent leaves are relatively free of any infestation.
		The armor of the adult female purple scale is 2 to 3 mm long, purple to dark brown in color, elongated, and usually curved in the shape of a comma.

	Oilfield Glossary: Term 'scale'
		Scale is caused by a precipitation due to a chemical reaction with the surface, precipitation caused by chemical reactions, a change in pressure or temperature, or a change in the composition of a solution.
		Typical scales are calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, strontium sulfate, iron sulfide, iron oxides, iron carbonate, the various silicates and phosphates and oxides, or any of a number of compounds insoluble or slightly soluble in water.
		Scale deposition occurs when the solution equilibrium of the water is disturbed by pressure and temperature changes, dissolved gases or incompatibility between mixing waters.

		California red scale and yellow scale are armored scales that are distributed throughout the citrus-growing regions of the state except in parts of the Coachella Valley where they are under an eradication program.

	The Fujita Scale of Tornado Intensity
		The Fujita Scale is used to rate the intensity of a tornado by examining the damage caused by the tornado after it has passed over a man-made structure.
		The FPP scale rates the intensity of the tornado, and measured both the path length and the path width.
		Storm spotters, storm chasers and other weather observers often try to estimate the intensity of a tornado when they are in the field, basing their judgement on the rotational speed and amount of debris being generated as well as the width.
