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 […]
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 […]
Shackle Load Pin Morehouse is well known in the industry for calibrating loadcells of all types to the highest accuracy. And for 50 years, we have scratched our heads at the poor performance of load pins compared to all other types of loadcells. Even the slightest change in loading conditions causes drastic changes in load […]
Treatment of Zero in Determining Deflections – ASTM Method B Interpolated Zero Reduction Methods In calibration, many disciplines take multiple calibration points between the initial zero and the ending zero. What is the standard method for reducing the zero readings from the raw data recorded? When we started asking some contacts at National Metrology Institutes […]
Why is Force Measurement Important? Here at Morehouse, we have been in the business of measuring forces for almost 100 years. We are a small company of fewer than 40 employees who strive to create great force measuring products used in several industries to make the world safer for everyone. Though, when asked what we […]
Armed Services Receives Universal Calibration Machine We are happy to announce a 675,000 lbf capacity Universal Calibration Machine (UCM) was designed, manufactured, assembled and recently shipped to a US Navy base. This unique UCM will be used to calibrate high capacity force measurement devices used by for our military. Morehouse prides itself on finding solutions […]
Relative Zero Error: What You Need to Know About Load Cells with High Zero Returns Does this sound familiar; you bought a load cell that fit your form and function needs, and everything looked good for what you wanted to accomplish on paper. You send the load cell off to be calibrated and find out […]
New to Force Measurements: A Beginner's Guide to Force Measurements Morehouse Instrument Company has shared tremendous knowledge throughout the years with blogs, technical papers, and webinars. This education aligns with our purpose to create a safer world by helping companies improve their force and torque measurements. The information can be overwhelming when someone is new […]
Need to convert lbs to lbf? What about kgs to kgf? Need to convert lbs to lbf? Do you have mass weights that you might want to use for a force or torque application? Morehouse has created an excel spreadsheet that is free to download to help eliminate large measurement errors from using mass […]
