Cosine Error Should be Considered in any Torque Measurement Process ISO/IEC 17025 When Calculating Torque Measurement Error Cosine Error should be considered A ‘vector’ is known as a quantity that is defined by its size and direction. Every time the effect of a known force is evaluated on a static or dynamic system, all applied, […]
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 […]
The Top 5 Costly Force Measurement Mistakes #1 of 5 Costly force measurement mistakes Most calibration laboratories will say a device is "In Tolerance" without considering the uncertainty of their measurement process. This equates to you not using a calibration laboratory that has standards to meet your needs and accounts for measurement risk properly. Most […]
Why the Location of the Measurement is More Important than You May Realize Calling an instrument “In Tolerance” is about the location, location, and location of the measurement. It’s also about the uncertainty of the measurement, but a bad location will raise the Probability of False Accept (PFA) significantly. The Probability of False Accept is […]
Making a Statement of Compliance: The 3 Main Reasons Calibration Laboratories Fail to Get Things Right Making a statement of compliance introduction. About a year after turning 40, I bought a pair of reading glasses. After another year, I started noticing a decrease in my overall vision and figured I needed to visit an eye […]
3 Rules to Reduce Your Measurement Risk 3 Rules to Reduce Your Measurement Risk Bad Measurements Happen! Technicians are Fallible! The Wrong Equipment is Used!

There was the BP oil refinery explosion in Texas, the Hubble telescope with […]
What is Measurement Risk? What is Measurement Risk - Imagine that a satellite is launched into space and communications are intermittent. This happens because the satellite is wobbling, which causes connectivity problems in the receiver. The cause of the wobbling is identified: it is the result of not using a calibration provider with a low […]
