Understanding Compression Load Cell Equations Compression load cells are critical for measuring pushing forces in various applications. Here at Morehouse, we calibrate many tension load cells from various capacities. One of the more essential aspects of these calibrations is ensuring the appropriate adapters are used. Our e-book and other documents speak to the importance of […]
Understanding Tension Load Cell Equations Tension load cells are critical for measuring pulling forces in various applications. Here at Morehouse, we calibrate many tension load cells from various capacities. One of the more essential aspects of these calibrations is ensuring the appropriate adapters are used. Our e-book and other documents speak to the importance of […]
The Pros and Cons of Load Cell Simulator Calibration: Is Interchangeability Worth It? We have been asked more frequently about the benefits of calibrating everything as a system versus calibrating the load cells and indicators separately and intermixing them using a calibrated load cell simulator. Being able to intermix any load cell and meter combination […]
Understanding ISO 376 Morehouse Calibration Certificates Morehouse takes exceptional pride in complying with several published standards. We hold ourselves accountable, raise the standard, and put a lot of effort into making the world safer. We are writing this article to help those who might not understand the ISO 376 standard. We have conducted webinars and […]
What Calibration Coefficients Do ASTM E74, ISO 376, and other standards may use calibration coefficients to characterize the performance characteristics of continuous reading force-measuring equipment better. These standards may use higher-order fits such as a second or third-order fit (ISO 376) or ASTM E74 allows higher-order fits up to as high as a 5th-order. Both […]
Guidance on Uncertainty Budgets for Force Measuring Devices Part 4. Calculating Uncertainty for ISO 376 Uncertainty Analysis ISO 376 Uncertainty Analysis Introduction: All calibration laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 are required to submit uncertainty calculations for the Calibration and Measurement Capability uncertainty claims included in the scope of accreditation. The assumptions made for the determination […]
Understanding ISO 376 Our last blog focused on the difference between ISO 376 and ASTM E74. That blog was a comparison between the major differences when comparing both standards and can be found here. What we hope to do with this blog is go into a bit more detail and explain the ISO 376:2011 Metallic […]
ASTM E74 is Not the Same as ISO 376 Morehouse has performed ASTM E74 and ISO 376 calibrations for over fifteen years. We have been calibrating in accordance with the ASTM E74 standard since its introduction in 1974 and performing ISO 376 calibrations since sometime in early 2000. Before early 2000, ISO-376 was a DIN […]
Morehouse ISO 376 Calibration Certificates Morehouse has been performing ISO 376 calibrations for over the last fifteen years. In this time frame, we have changed our ISO 376 calibration certificate format three times. The latest change offers additional information such as a calibration graph per run and is laid out in a way that is […]
