Using Mass Weights to Calibrate Force Devices Can Result in a Large Measurement Error

Using Mass Weights to Calibrate Force Devices Can Result in a Large Measurement Error Morehouse Benchtop 10,000 lbf Calibrating Machine When metrologists talk about measurement error, we’re talking about the difference between the nominal value and what the instrument is reading. If 10,000 lbf is applied to a force measuring device and the readout displays […]

New ASTM E74-18 Changes

New ASTM E74-18 Changes - Intro   It’s been five years since ASTM E74 was last updated.  The last version of the standard was ASTM 13a, and I believe we may have an ASTM E74-18a.  However, the new standard has been released and this blog is going to detail some of the major changes between […]

Guidance on Uncertainty Budgets for Force Measuring Devices Part 4. Calculating Uncertainty for ISO 376 uncertainty

Guidance on Uncertainty Budgets for Force Measuring Devices Part 4. Calculating Uncertainty for ISO 376 Uncertainty Analysis ISO 376 Uncertainty Analysis Introduction: All calibration laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 are required to submit uncertainty calculations for the Calibration and Measurement Capability uncertainty claims included in the scope of accreditation. The assumptions made for the determination […]

Understanding ISO 376

Understanding ISO 376 Our last blog focused on the difference between ISO 376 and ASTM E74. That blog was a comparison between the major differences when comparing both standards and can be found here.  What we hope to do with this blog is go into a bit more detail and explain the ISO 376:2011 Metallic […]

Without the Right Adapters a Force Calibration Technician is Nothing Short of Being Called a Miracle Worker

Without the Right Adapters, a Force Calibration Technician is Nothing Short of Being Called a Miracle Worker Figure 1 Bent Rod End Think about that for a minute. Would you want a surgeon to operate on you with kitchen utensils such as a serrated knife? Then why do some people (management cough) expect or ask […]

ASTM E74 is Not the Same as ISO 376

ASTM E74 is Not the Same as ISO 376 Morehouse has been performing both ASTM E74 and ISO 376 calibrations for more than fifteen years. We have been calibrating in accordance with the ASTM E74 standard since its introduction in 1974, and performing ISO 376 calibrations since sometime in early 2000. Prior to early 2000, […]

Morehouse ISO 376 Calibration Certificates

Morehouse ISO 376 Calibration Certificates Morehouse has been performing ISO 376 calibrations for over the last fifteen years. In this time frame, we have changed our ISO 376 calibration certificate format three times. The latest change offers additional information such as a calibration graph per run and is laid out in a way that is […]

Calibrating Multi-Axis Load cells in a Morehouse Calibrating Machine

Multi-axis load cell Multi-Axis load cells are becoming more popular, and the calibration of such load cells creates various challenges to ensure minimal cross-talk and to calibrate each axis of the load cells. This blog describes a detailed test plan for calibrating a 3-axis multi-axis load cell in a Morehouse. Universal Calibrating Machine (pictured below). […]
