scaling factor [′skāl·iŋ ‚fak·tər]

(electronics)

The number of input pulses per output pulse of a scaling circuit. Also known as scaling ratio.

(engineering)

Factor used in heat-exchange calculations to allow for the loss in heat conductivity of a material because of the development of surface scale, as inside pipelines and heat-exchanger tubes.

(physics)

A constant of proportionality which appears in a scaling law.
