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

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

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

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 […]

Embracing Failure in Calibration: Why Failing Fast, Failing Often, and Failing Cheap Is the Key to Growth (Embracing Failure as a Leader and a Metrologist)

Embracing Failure in Calibration: Why Failing Fast, Failing Often, and Failing Cheap Is the Key to Growth (Embracing Failure as a Leader and a Metrologist) Many of us have been conditioned to fear failure. From early school years to professional life, success is often celebrated, while mistakes are typically hidden or punished. Yet what if […]

How Do Load Cells Work

How Do Load Cells Work? Load cells measure force by converting mechanical strain into an electrical signal using strain gauges. When a load is applied, the cell deforms slightly—this strain is detected by strain gauges bonded to the structure. The gauges change resistance as they stretch or compress, producing a signal proportional to the applied […]

The Ultimate Standard: Why Deadweight Force Machines Deliver Unrivaled Stability and Ultra-Low Measurement Uncertainty

Deadweight Force Machine Stability: Long-Term Reliability in Force Calibration Morehouse has a new paper on Deadweight Force Machine Stability titled "Deadweight Primary Standards: Best Practices and Their Associated Risks for Stability Determination in Compliance with ISO/IEC 17025" Overview Deadweight force machines are considered the pinnacle of force calibration standards, delivering the lowest possible measurement uncertainties […]
