Comparing Morehouse 4215 Load Cell Meters: 3x Improvement in Repeatability and Force Accuracy

A common question at Morehouse we are frequently asked involving our 4215-meter load cell meter is if there is a performance difference between the standard 4215 load cell meter and the 4215 Plus. Previously, we decided to make a video to show the upgraded stability of our 4215 HS load cell meter versus our standard […]

Comparing Load Cell Meter Filter Settings on Morehouse 4215 Load Cell Meters

Comparing Load Cell Meter Filter Settings on Morehouse 4215 Load Cell Meters A common question at Morehouse we are frequently asked involving our 4215-meter load cell meter is if there is a performance difference between using different filter settings. We decided to take things further for this article by testing a standard 4215 indicator versus […]

Let's Talk about Bias: The Force Measurement Error Kind!

Let's Talk about Bias: The Force Measurement Error Kind! What can happen when we use an accuracy specification and assume all the measurements are centered in relation to the specification limits? It is a typical problem in the metrology community, where many papers assume a centered process or Measurement. When the Measurement deviates from the […]

Small Force Measurement: Understanding the Challenges and Solutions

Small Force Measurement: Understanding the Challenges and Solutions when Measuring Small Forces Measuring small forces accurately can be a significant challenge for calibration laboratories, researchers, and engineers. Small force measurement is crucial for many applications, such as testing materials, monitoring biomedical devices, and studying the behavior of cells and molecules. In this blog, we'll explore […]

Tension Link Calibration (3 Easy Steps to Yield Repeatable Results)

Tension Link Calibration (3 Easy Steps to Yield Repeatable Results) Tension Link Calibration requires advanced knowledge of the calibration process to pass an instrument. There will be additional errors if there is any variation in the adapters used for calibration. Here at Morehouse, we have done testing using different pin sizes and adapters. Forged pins, […]

How Do I Calculate B Coefficients Using Data from My Force Calibration Report?

How Do I Calculate B Coefficients Using Data from My Force Calibration Report? At Morehouse, we generate calibration reports with both A and B coefficients. Any calibration performed following the ASTM E74 or ISO 376 standard will list both sets of coefficients. The A coefficients are used to solve for Response when the Force is […]
