Ok I have some progress on the problem I found a post(http://openlayers.org/pipermail/users/2007-September/003023.html) by Arnd Wippermann and he wrote the scales factors for various units:
Factors: inches - 1 ft - 12 mi - 63360 m - 39.3701 km - 39370.1 dd - 4374754 in - 1 So now I can compute the width and height of the image pass to mapserver and generate the image I want at a given scale. Is this approach correct from geodetic point of view ?
