Guarded Rejection: 1 Valuable Tool for Reducing the Risk of False Rejection

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 […]

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 […]

The New Dimension to Resolution: Can it be Resolved?

The New Dimension to Resolution: Can it be Resolved? Our last blog, Device Resolution and the Impact on Consumer Risk, described why best practices should be followed for conformity assessments rather than drafting individual test protocols and standards. How should manufacturers and calibration laboratories correctly calculate both uncertainty and risk on equipment? Risk, Conformity Assessment, […]

Device Resolution and the Impact on Consumer Risk

Device Resolution and the Impact on Consumer Risk - Intro If a device's uncertainty has too coarse of a resolution, then you need a device that does not subject the conformance decision to higher risk. This blog will present examples that demonstrate why best practices should be followed for conformity assessments rather than drafting individual […]

Specifying a Tolerance, the Difference Between Percentage of Indicated Value vs % of Full-Scale Output

Specifying a Tolerance, the Difference Between Percentage of Indicated Value vs % of Full-Scale Output - Intro In looking at various equipment, it seems the force equipment in the test and measurement industry specifically has mainly specified tolerances as a percent of full scale. Several crane scales, tension links, and hand-held force gauges follow this […]

What Happens When You Overshoot a Test Point? (How Bad Could it be?)

What Happens When You Overshoot a Test Point? Various calibration laboratories use hydraulic, screw, and other force calibration machines where it is difficult not to overshoot a test point.  By talking about overshooting a test point, we are referring to loading past the desired point and then letting the creep in the hydraulic system naturally […]
