Budget Load Cell Tests: Load Cell Shoulder Loading Errors

Budget Load Cell Tests: Load Cell Shoulder Loading Errors Morehouse has previously addressed load cell shoulder loading errors and thread engagement in videos and articles. Here, we investigate the results of a simple design change we incorporated into our BLC series. Specifically, what occurs if an adapter is removed and the load is applied directly […]

Load Cell Calibration for Rocket Engine Test Accuracy

Metrology Articles

Load Cell Calibration for Rocket Engine Test Accuracy Load cell calibration for rocket engine thrust accuracy is something anyone making rockets should understand. Rocket engine testing represents one of the most critical phases in aerospace engineering, where precision and reliability are paramount. This article explores the fundamentals of load cell calibration for rocket engine thrust […]

High Capacity Force Calibration Above 4.4 MN (1,000,000 lbf)

Force Calibration Standards

High Capacity Force Calibration Above 4.4 MN (1,000,000 lbf) Figure 1 Picture of Morehouse High Capacity Force Calibration 10MN System UCM Using Three Symmetrical Morehouse Load Cells In previous posts, we have discussed ASTM E74 requirements for secondary standards. However, we have not discussed what happens when primary standards cannot calibrate the secondary standards. Such […]

Amplified Load Cells (4-20mA, 0 -10 VDC) made Easy

Load Cell Best Practices

Amplified Load Cells (4-20mA, 0 -10 VDC) Amplified load cells are specialized force measurement devices that integrate a built-in signal conditioning system, outputting a standardized 4-20mA or 0-10VDC signal. These load cells are widely used in industrial applications where robust, noise-resistant, and long-distance transmission is required. Unlike traditional load cells, which output a low-level millivolt […]

Load Cell Wiring Made Easy

Load Cell Best Practices, Force Calibration Tips

Load Cell Wiring – How do I Know How My Load Cell is Wired? Numerous load cells exist where the manufacturers have merged, ceased to exist, or do not share their wiring information. This is where we aim to help you figure out the load cell wiring of whatever load cell you have. Load cell […]

The Difference Between Force and Mass

Scale Calibration and Weighing, General Force Knowledge

Force, Mass, and Weight: What is the Difference? Force, mass, and weight are related concepts in physics, yet they are distinct and often misunderstood. Introduction to Difference Between Force, Mass, and Weight Figure 1. NBS Document Regarding Force Calibration Services I recently read an old NBS unpublished Provisional Document of "The Force Calibration Service" […]
