This might work here since all the scales used have the same units even
though they are measuring different things. But I think, more
generally, for issues like this, a taxonomy or an ontology on top of
standard names might be more useful.

Dear Philip
Would it work to include an 'unknown' scale?
I too like this idea, thanks i.e. a standard name of
sea_water_ph_reported_on_unknown_scale.
That allows the required generality, while making it clear that important
information is missing.
Best wishes
Jonathan
