ASTM E74 Load Cell Selection Guide Download the spreadsheet for ASTM E74 load cell selection spreadsheet @ https://mhforce.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ASTM-Load-Cell-Selection-Guide.xlsx Many people get confused with load cell specifications and what they mean. When a company says the load cell is accurate to 0.01 % of full scale, what does that mean? If calibrated using the ASTM E74 […]
Load Cell Loading: Thread Engagement Errors Morehouse has covered this topic in previous videos and blogs. However, it is important enough to write another blog about thread engagement. Why is it important? In a typical female thread design, the modeling is done with “assumptions” on the thread engagement. A standard rule is to assume the […]
The True Cost of Long Force Calibration Lead Time How much revenue are you sacrificing when you do not have your equipment? What is the True Cost of Long Force Calibration Lead Times? How much is lost from not being able to turn our force calibration equipment around for your customers? Do you end up […]
How to Correct for Tare Weight when Using Load Cells or Proving Rings A common question we get asked is, “If I have a tare weight, how do I correct it?” Thus, we are going to answer the questions by discussing How to Correct Tare Weight when using Load Cells or Proving Rings. All instruments […]
How to Comply with ILAC P14 when Reporting Expanded Uncertainty ILAC P14 is a mandatory policy document for calibration laboratories accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. How can a laboratory ensure that expanded uncertainty is reported in compliance with ILAC Policy Measurement Uncertainty in Calibration, ILAC P14? In ILAC P14, section 5 relates to calibration […]
G501F Single-Channel Digital Load Cell Indicator The new Morehouse G501F single-channel load cell indicator provides high value at a low cost, delivering reliable performance and high-resolution measurements. Paired with a single load cell, this portable load cell indicator is the answer for laboratories that do not need the performance of a higher-end readout. Since the […]
Great News: NVLAP Accreditation Demonstrates Laboratory Competence Morehouse Instrument Company has received NVLAP accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The unbiased third-party evaluation by NVLAP reduces our internal risk and instills trust in the laboratory’s competence. The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), which is administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), provides third-party […]
How Do I Calculate B Coefficients Using Data from My Force Calibration Report? At Morehouse, we generate calibration reports with both A and B coefficients. Any calibration performed following the ASTM E74 or ISO 376 standard will list both sets of coefficients. The A coefficients are used to solve for Response when the Force is […]
How to Gain Confidence in Your Measurements In the book Good to Great a concept is illustrated with three intersecting circles, which determine your company’s hedgehog concept. The hedgehog concept is based on asking three questions. “ 1. What are you deeply passionate about? 2. What can you be the best in the world at? […]
