Comment:

 It depends on the DPI value that the respective WMS service used when
 outputting the GetCapabilities. Mapserver by default uses 72. However the
 OGC says it should be 90.71, so it is advised to setup both server and
 client with this value. It's the contract between the client and the
 server. Please note that in WMS 1.3 the whole concept of scales was
 revisited and they used ScaleDenominators instead.
