AC Versus DC (mV/V) Differences in Load Cell Meters Using a Load Cell Simulator Differences in Load Cell Meters - There is a difference in output between Alternating Current (AC) measurements and Direct Current (DC). To show the difference, we used a load cell simulator on two different meters. We used a simulator that […]
Battery Life May Impact Your Calibration Results Battery life may impact your calibration as it is becoming more and more common to have portable devices that use batteries. This can be a great benefit to someone who wants ultimate portability. However, this portability can come with additional errors, if the portable device is not […]
Load Cell Alignment Plugs Proper Use Morehouse load cell alignment plugs are used to help center the load cell in calibrating machines. They are used in combination with the other adapters below. More information on load cell adapters and mounting accessories can be found here. Morehouse Reference Standard Mounting Kits for Universal Calibrating Machines […]
How to Lose Money on Load Cell Calibrations How to Lose Money on Load Cell Calibrations -Intro A low-cost system may increase the need for more frequent calibrations. This can cost more money than equipment that does not need to be calibrated as frequently. The formula for reliability is simple: the number of calibrations that […]
