What's the difference between salable and scalable?

Salable


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being sold; fit to be sold; finding a ready market.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Salable FCM was unaffected by mastitis at a proposed commercial dose (.6 g).
  • (2) Cows experiencing clinical mastitis produced approximately 341 kg less salable milk during the 60 d after clinical onset compared with projected production.

  • (2) Most of the findings applied equally to both sets of scales: the scoring reliability was very high; the total scores did not vary as a function of subject characteristics (except IQ) or testing conditions; differences in the difficulty of the items did not correspond closely to those reported for nonretarded infants, and the scalability of the items was much lower.
  • (3) Combining items from these established measures resulted in two new scales with acceptable scalability and construct validity; however, some errors in item order persisted.
