Mount Kilauea on Hawaii is a volcano.
The Richter scale is measurement of an earthquake strength.
Thus you can not put Mt. Kilauea on the Richter scale - they are not the same thing!
However when volcanoes erupt they do produce localearthquakes which you can measure on the Richter scale but to choose which one you want to know about you have to provide a date for the eruption event.
Mt. Kilauea is (March - April 2008) currently undergoing some small explosive eruptions that have produced very smallearthquakes, some ash and allot of SO2 gas.

Is a saffir-simpson scale used to measure the strength and the magnitude of an earthquke?
No. The Saffir-Simpson scale is used to rate hurricane strength. Earthquakes are measure on the Moment Magnitude scale (formerly the Richter scale).
What scale is used to describe the strength of earthquakes?
The moment magnitude scale, it replaced the Richter scale.

The scale used to measure the strength of an earthquake is called the Richter scale
If you have a Richter magnitude of 5.0 how much bigger would 6.0 be a 7.0?
This is really an answer but we dont use the ricter scale to record earthquakes because it didn't work well.. we use the M.M.S (Moment Magnitude Scale) To record earthquakes.. ----
What is the numerical scale used to express the strength of an earthquake?
The Richter scale is used to measure the strength of earthquakes.
How is a tornado's strength measured?
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
