A specific ordered pair is (1,3) or (-1000,398), an arbitrary one is (x,y) or (x1 ,x2 ). This means we do not specify and particular number.
"Arbitrary" simply means any. So this refers to any positive integer. It may be used to make a statement that is true for every positive integer.

Moh's Scale is an arbitrary scale for hardness. It is not necessarily linear along its length. But still very useful.
The basic unit is a Kelvin but it is common to use a degree Celsius. The Kelvin scale is absolute whereas the zero point on the Celsius scale is arbitrary.
Because differences (or changes) in temperatures need to be measured on an absolute scale not a scale with its zero at an arbitrary point.
It is an interval scale. It is not a ratio scale, the next higher level, because the zero is arbitrary and not unique from one calendar to another.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) scale on hydrometers is an arbitrary scale based on Relative Density (Specific Gravity) where - API = (141.5 divided by the Relative Density at 60oF) - 131.5
If you mean to ask what follows the Fujita-Pearson scale is the Enhanced Fujita or EF scale. It provides essentially the same ratings, but with more accurate wind estimates and more detailed, less arbitrary damage descriptions.
The Celsius scale is an interval scale which means that the difference between 0 deg C and 10 deg C is the same as the difference between 10 deg C and 20 deg C. However, the zero of this scale is arbitrary which means that 20 deg C is not twice as hot as 10 deg C..The zero point of the Kelvin scale is not arbitrary: it is the point at which thermodynamic energy is zero and so the scale more versatile than an interval scale: it is a ratio scale and this means that 20 K is twice as hot as 10 K.
In general, the level of measurement is on an interval scale (temperature in deg C or F) because the zero point is arbitrary. However, if the zero is unique and non-arbitrary, then it is a ratio scale (temperature in Kelvin).
