Understanding the Normal Distribution

Understanding the Normal Distribution The normal distribution, sometimes called the bell curve or Gaussian distribution, is one of the most important concepts in statistics. It describes how values of a variable are spread, and it often appears in nature, science, and everyday life. What is the Normal Distribution? At its core, the normal distribution […]

The Role of the En Ratio in Force Calibration Confidence

Force Calibration Standards

The Role of the En Ratio in Force Calibration Confidence In the world of calibration, proving that your measurements are both accurate and defensible goes beyond simply watching control charts. While control charts are powerful for spotting drift or unusual trends, they don’t answer a critical question: are our stated measurement capabilities truly valid? To […]

Making Better Measurement Decisions: Understanding Risk in Simple Terms

Measurement Risk

Understanding Risk: Making Better Measurement Decisions Understanding Risk Intro: Why Measurements Aren’t Always Exact Every measurement we take comes with some level of doubt. This doubt is called measurement uncertainty. It’s the range within which the “true value” probably lies. When understanding risk, think of it like reading a ruler: if your eyes […]

Start With the End in Mind: Working Backwards to Size Your Measurement Equipment and Calibration Provider

General Force Knowledge, Measurement Risk

Start With the End in Mind: Working Backwards to Size Your Measurement Equipment and Calibration Provider A practical, risk-informed method for selecting equipment, decision rules, and calibration providers Abstract Begin with the decision you must defend—product conformance with acceptable risk—and work backwards to derive the measurement capability required of both your equipment and your […]

Which Force Machine Should I Choose?

General Force Knowledge, Force Calibration Equipment

Which Force Machine Should I Choose? Anyone in metrology has asked—or been asked—this question at some point: “What’s the right force machine for my application?” How do you decide? Word of mouth? A manufacturer’s reputation? Measurement uncertainty? Overall quality? Price? Or some combination of them all? It’s a lot like buying a car. […]

Proving Rings vs. Load Cells — Definitions, Accuracy, and a Practical Comparison.

Force Calibration Equipment, Force Calibration Tips

Proving Rings vs. Load Cells — Definitions, Accuracy, and a Practical Comparison. After teaching many classes for NCSLI, ASQ, and other force measurement programs, one question always seems to come up: Which is better—Proving Rings vs. Load Cells? Instead of giving a one-sided answer, the following section takes a closer look at both options. The […]

10 Proven Steps to Custom Load Cell Design

New Product, Force Calibration Equipment, Load Cell Best Practices

Morehouse Custom Load Cell Design: 10 Steps Encompassing Comprehensive Principles, Innovative Process, and Best Practice Designing a reliable custom load cell starts long before metal is cut or gauges are bonded. It begins with a clear understanding of what is being measured, where the sensor will live, and how its signal will be used. This […]

Force Calibration Simplified: Expected Performance in Load Cell Calibration Procedures

ISO/IEC 17025 Best Practices, Force Calibration Tips

Force Calibration Simplified: Expected Performance in Load Cell Calibration Procedures Expected performance in load cell calibration procedures is a key concept that we have adopted at Morehouse. The term likely originated from discussions during ASTM committee meetings among industry experts. Expected performance helps define how accurately a force-measuring tool works when tested under ideal laboratory […]
