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 […]
Introduction of TEDS for Load Cells Transducer Electronics Datasheet, or TEDS for load cells, is something we are frequently asked about as, over the years, the topic has been of interest to many hoping to use a load cell with a chip in it and be able to hook it up to multiple meters, to […]
Load Cell Shunt Calibration Load Cell Bridge with a Shunt Calibration. Load cell shunt calibration is a cost-effective means to confirm that the load cell and indicator system are not experiencing significant drift or potential damage. Load cell shunt calibration involves introducing a known electrical resistance (shunt resistor) in parallel with the load cell, allowing […]
ASTM E74 Change From Previous to Meet a Two-year Calibration Interval 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 […]
Videos on How to Correct Load Cell Measurement Errors Are you struggling with load cell calibration? Are you making critical errors? You are not alone! But worry no more because we have a treasure trove of video resources to help you conquer load cell measurement errors, calibration challenges and achieve accurate force measurements. Browse our […]
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 […]
Choosing a Calibration Provider In calibration, decisions often involve finding the perfect balance between competing factors. When purchasing calibration products or services, a classic problem arises: quality, lead time, and price—choose any two, but you can't have all three. As one of the greatest singing artists of our generation sang, "Don't be Sad Because Two […]
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 […]
Guarded rejection: 1 Valuable Tool for Reducing the Risk of False Rejection When assessing the conformity of a product or service to a specified requirement, it is crucial to have a high degree of confidence in the decision. This is especially true when the consequences of a false rejection or false acceptance are high. Guarded […]
A Simplified Global and Specific Risk Example A company has hired us to measure the speed of cars on a stretch of a single-lane road. The customer wants options using both Global and Specific Risk examples as they are unsure what method will give them what they need to meet the specification as they know […]
Understanding Global Risk in Simple Terms In the world of engineering and product design, there's a concept that Henry Petroski discusses in his book, "To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design." He suggests that engineers and companies might become complacent when things are going well. They might not take the necessary […]
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, […]
