How to Develop an Uncertainty Budget for a Morehouse Calibrated Machine Uncertainty budgets are an essential part of any measurement. They help ensure calibrations are metrologically traceable, accurate, and reliable. Uncertainty budgets are also important for meeting regulatory requirements and accreditation. This article provides insight into developing an uncertainty budget for a Morehouse-calibrated machine. We […]
How to Calibrate Cable Tensiometers Does the Type of Cable GAC versus SSAC Make a Difference? What is a Cable Tensiometer? Cable tensiometers are devices used to measure the tension or force in cables, wires, and ropes. They are commonly employed in engineering, construction, and industrial applications to ensure the proper tension of cables to […]
Load Cell Error- Load Cell Adapter Thread Depth Comparison Budget Versus Shear Web Load Cell Adapter Thread Depth Comparison - Introduction We have written previous articles about using shear web load cells with a threaded adapter installed, meaning they are locked into place. One article described the increased performance by locking a […]
The Top 5 Benefits of Automating Force Calibration In the ever-evolving world of technology, automation has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing various sectors, including metrology. Imagine setting up a load cell, crane scale, or any force-measuring instrument and being able to pay more attention to the setup and not having to control the machine. Imagine, […]
My Load Cell Calibration Does Not Match What the Certificate Says Being in the business of calibrating force and torque instruments means you will run across scenarios where the equipment sent in for calibration performs differently than the last calibration. You might also run into a situation where the end-user does some checks on their […]
Load cells are devices used to measure the weight or force, applied to them and used in a wide range of applications, from weighing scales to industrial equipment. Most of the load cells supplied by Morehouse are used as calibration standards, either as reference standards to calibrate other standards, or as field standards to calibrate […]
