Scoville Heat Units See related link below for the Scoville Scale
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.

Chillies and their spiciness.
Chili seeds range from 0 Scoville units to 16 million Scoville. The reason is that chili is a broad spectrum of peppers including jalapeno, which is only 2500 to 8000 Scoville.
A single peri peri chilli measures approximately 100,000 Scoville units. Nando's peri peri sauce contains 5 chillis = 500,000 Scoville units. Their extra hot sauce has 8-10 peri peri chillis which is equal to 800,000 to 100,000 Scoville units.
It has a great chilli sauce from arbol chillies which rank between 15,00 and 30,000 units on Scoville scale of chilli heat.
The Scoville Scale is a measure of the heat level or pungency of chilli peppers; the greater number of Scoville units, the hotter the pepper. The scoville scale measures the level of capsaicin, the active principle that causes the heat. The scale ranges from the bell pepper with zero scoville units, through jalapeno's with between 2,500m - 10,000 units, to the hottest chillies habaneros and scotch bonnets between 80,000 - 300,000. One of the hottest chillies was a Red Savina habanero with 577, 000 scoville units. In Februari 2007 the Naga-Bih Jolokia pepper cultivated at New Mexico State University have stood-up to testing, a specimen registering a staggering 1,001,304 Scoville heat units was officially acclaimed by the Guinness World Record as the new worlds hottest pepper. Naga Jolokia is nearly twice as hot as the previous holder, the Red Savina habanerp. Pure capsaicin is 16,000,000 units.
30,000 to 50,000 Scoville units. For the chart, go to wikipedia and look up " Scollville units"
Yes, it's called Scoville heat units
1,042,314 scoville units..4 times hotter than the habanero

Calories, Kelvin, BTU's or if related to Jallapeno Pepers, the Scoville Scale is the proper tool.
