Hi,

World equator width is known in EPSG:3857 Mercator (delete/upgrade the
software that calls it 900913) and pixels at the zoom you're interested in.
I've got these in my .psqlrc, so that I can write ST_Buffer(geom, 20 *
:at_z12) to buffer something 20px at z12:

\set at_z12 38.22
\set at_z11 76.44
\set at_z10 152.87
\set at_z9 305.75
\set at_z8 611.5
\set at_z7 1222.99
\set at_z6 2445.98
\set at_z5 4891.97
\set at_z4 9783.94
\set at_z3 19567.88
\set at_z2 39135.76
\set at_z1 78271.52
\set at_z0 156543.04
