This free authoritative guide is designed to assist beginners and seasoned professionals in force measurement and […]
Applying Good to Great to Metrology Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don't has been on my top 5 must-reads for the last decade. Many in our company have read it, and we have had several meetings referencing the topics Jim Collins seems present effortlessly. This book is likely the […]
Specific Force-Measuring Instrument(s) Introduction At Morehouse, we have covered various sections of the ASTM E74 standard over numerous articles, papers, and posts. We have not covered specific force-measuring instruments for all of those various pieces. Yet, we frequently perform many calibrations and have sold equipment designed specifically for this criteria. Even though many customers have […]
Portable Calibrating Machines (PCMs) in Healthcare Imagine a scenario crucial to patient care: a muscle strength test conducted with a hand-held dynamometer. The outcome dictates treatment plans, diagnoses, and recovery milestones. The precision of this device must be balanced; inaccuracies can lead to misdiagnoses, compliance issues, and wasted resources, compromising patient safety and institutional integrity. […]
The Importance of Load Cell Reliability in Healthcare In the healthcare sector, precision isn't just a requirement—it's a necessity where the margins for error are perilously thin, and the consequences of inaccuracy can be grave. At the heart of this precision lies the unassuming yet critical load cell, a device whose reliability is foundational to […]
ASTM E74 Change From Previous ASTM E74 Change From Previous to meet a two-year calibration interval is found in the ASTM E74 standard in section 11.2.1. The standard specifically states, “Force-measuring instruments shall demonstrate changes in the calibration values over the range of use during the recalibration interval of less than 0.032 % of reading […]
Morehouse Holiday Message: Measurements Meet Mistletoe Ho, Ho, Hold onto your festive hats (or grip your Festivus Poles tightly!) because it's that wonderful time of the year again! Here at Morehouse, the self-proclaimed (and never disputed) Galaxy’s #1 Torque & Force Measurement Products & Services provider, we're ready to spread holiday cheer and a sprinkle […]
Morehouse Instrument Company has shared tremendous knowledge throughout the years with blogs, technical papers, and webinars on force calibration. This education aligns with our purpose, to create a safer world by helping companies improve their force and torque measurements. When someone is new to calibration or metrology, the information can be overwhelming. There is so […]
Force Proficiency Rental Kits Available. Don’t jeopardize the integrity of your measurements by not validating them via ILC. At Morehouse, we understand the importance of complying with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, particularly Section 7.7.2, which mandates laboratories to demonstrate their competency through a Proficiency Testing (PT) or Interlaboratory Comparison (ILC) plan at least every four years. ISO/IEC […]
Converting mV/V Load Cell Signals to Engineering Units Understanding Load Cell Sensitivity and Signal Conversion. Load cells, integral in measuring force, operate based on strain gauge technology. These devices provide millivolts per volt (mV/V) output, proportional to the excitation voltage. This mV/V sensitivity is crucial, as it determines the load cell's response to force. When […]
