High Capacity Force Calibration Above 4.4 MN (1,000,000 lbf)

High Capacity Force Calibration Above 4.4 MN (1,000,000 lbf) Figure 1 Picture of Morehouse High Capacity Force Calibration 10MN System UCM Using Three Symmetrical Morehouse Load Cells In previous posts, we have discussed ASTM E74 requirements for secondary standards. However, we have not discussed what happens when primary standards cannot calibrate the secondary standards. Such […]

Amplified Load Cells (4-20mA, 0 -10 VDC) made Easy

Amplified Load Cells (4-20mA, 0 -10 VDC) Amplified load cells are specialized force measurement devices that integrate a built-in signal conditioning system, outputting a standardized 4-20mA or 0-10VDC signal. These load cells are widely used in industrial applications where robust, noise-resistant, and long-distance transmission is required. Unlike traditional load cells, which output a low-level millivolt […]

Load Cell Wiring Made Easy

Load Cell Wiring – How do I Know How My Load Cell is Wired? Numerous load cells exist where the manufacturers have merged, ceased to exist, or do not share their wiring information. This is where we aim to help you figure out the load cell wiring of whatever load cell you have. Load cell […]

The Difference Between Force and Mass

Force, Mass, and Weight: What is the Difference? Force, mass, and weight are related concepts in physics, yet they are distinct and often misunderstood. Introduction to Difference Between Force, Mass, and Weight Figure 1. NBS Document Regarding Force Calibration Services   I recently read an old NBS unpublished Provisional Document of "The Force Calibration Service" […]

Load Cell Accuracy: What is Hysteresis?

What is Hysteresis? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called Hysteresis. This particular article hopes to explain what the term load cell hysteresis is. Load Cell Accuracy: Simple Definition In a simplistic sense, hysteresis is a way to measure how well a load cell returns to its starting point when force is […]

Load Cell Accuracy: What is Non Linearity?

What is Non Linearity? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called static Non-Linearity. This particular article hopes to explain what the term Non Linearity is. Load Cell Accuracy: Simple Definition of Non Linearity In simplistic terms Non Lineratiry tells us how much a load cell's readings might not follow a straight line […]

Load Cell Accuracy: What is Static Error Band?

What is Static Error Band (SEB)? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called static Error Band. The term itself can be used to describe one of many accuracy specifications  found on a load cell specification sheet. This particular article hopes to explain what the term Static Error Band is. Load Cell Accuracy: […]

How do I choose a Load Cell System? 4 Steps for Choosing the Right Load Cell Calibration System.

How do I choose a Load Cell System? 4 Steps for Choosing the Right Load Cell Calibration System. In metrology, force and torque measurements are vital across multiple industries, from aerospace to automotive to healthcare. Achieving accurate measurements often depends on the careful selection of the full load cell calibration system. Load cells, the core […]

Understanding Load Cell Specifications from the Specification Sheet

Load Cell Specifications Explained Figure 1 Example of a Typical Morehouse Load Cell Specifications Sheet   Load cells are precision devices used to measure force or weight, and their performance is defined by various specifications. The purpose of this article is to explain the typical load cell specifications sheet. Let's break down the key parameters […]
