Metrological Traceability for Force and How the Measurement Hierarchy Works in Relation to Measurement Uncertainty

Metrological Traceability for Force Metrological Traceability for Force -  Metrological Traceability: Property of a measurement result whereby the result can be related to a reference through a  documented unbroken chain of calibrations, each contributing to the measurement uncertainty.  This article will define each level of the measurement hierarchy as it relates to measurement uncertainty for […]

What is Accuracy? Can We Trust the Manufacturer's Specifications?

What is Accuracy? Can We Trust the Manufacturer's Specifications? What is Accuracy? Accuracy is influenced by both precision and bias in the measurement process.  To understand accuracy, one must understand bias, systematic measurement error, random measurement error, measurement error, and precision. Manufacturers' accuracy specifications may be misleading as they may not tell you how the […]

Tension Link Good Measurement Practice to Minimize Errors

Tension Links: Are Your Measurements Accurate? You are out in the field with a tension link, load link, or some type of digital dynamometer to use for a weighing application. You need pins to engage into the unit. What can you use? Slings? Maybe one size pin with one diameter on one end and another […]

Calculating Calibration and Measurement Capability (CMC) Using the ASTM Lower Limit Factor (LLF) (ASTM E74)

Calculating Calibration and Measurement Capability (CMC) Using the ASTM Lower Limit Factor (LLF) In accordance with the ASTM E74 standard, Morehouse reports the ASTM Lower Limit Factor (LLF) which is reported on page one of the calibration certificate and is not uncertainty.  ASTM E74-06 used to call LLF the uncertainty. The ASTM E74-06 standard was […]
