Please see related links, where I have given a link to a web page which explains the most common scale for measuring pepper heat, Scoville Heat Units. The linked page including a chart showing where different peppers rank on the scale. I have also added a link to a Chile Pepper Institute page, Chile Heat, which shows how the Scoville units are calculated, as well as a more expensive and accurate method of measuring heat in a laboratory. All hot peppers get their heat from a naturally occurring chemical called capsaicin and the more capsaicin in a pepper, the higher it will rank on the scale. You can also go to any search engine and search for Scoville Heat Units.
