Load cells are devices used to measure the weight or force, applied to them and used in a wide range of applications, from weighing scales to industrial equipment. Most of the load cells supplied by Morehouse are used as calibration standards, either as reference standards to calibrate other standards, or as field standards to calibrate […]
Why is Force Measurement Important? Here at Morehouse, we have been in the business of measuring forces for almost 100 years. We are a small company of fewer than 40 employees who strive to create great force measuring products used in several industries to make the world safer for everyone. Though, when asked what we […]
What can happen when we use an accuracy specification and assume all the measurements are centered in relation to the specification limits? It is a typical problem in the metrology community, where many papers assume a centered process or Measurement. When the Measurement deviates from the true value, it is said to have a bias […]
