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 […]
Does Resolution Need to be in an Uncertainty Budget? There’s a question I’ve heard asked more often than it should be: "Does resolution need to be in an uncertainty budget?" If the device’s digital resolution displays the least significant digit increment as a single digit from zero to nine, it is assumed that it somehow […]

Calibration Intervals - When is it Time to Recalibrate? Calibration Intervals A calibration interval is the period between two consecutive calibrations of MT&E. This interval is crucial for ensuring that the equipment continues to operate within its specified performance and the claimed Calibration and Measurement Capability (CMC) uncertainty parameter, sometimes referred to as […]
The 3 Important Changes to ISO 9001 Compliance and What This Means for Force and Torque Instrumentation The 3 Key Changes to ISO 9001 Compliance and What this Means for Force and Torque Instrumentation are discussed in detail in this article. What you need to know about documented procedures, preventative actions, and top management. Change […]
Top 5 Common Force Measurement Errors Top 5 Common Force Measurement Errors - At Morehouse, we strive to replicate the loading conditions a customer may be using. Some other labs, may not follow this process and the additional measurement uncertainty from not replicating use, may create a significant error source. Below are the top 5 […]
Avoid ASTM E74 Load Cell Calibration Mistakes We are writing this post to clarify some common ASTM E74 misconceptions and discuss ASTM E74 Load Cell Calibration Mistakes. We have written two early blogs on the ASTM E74 standard: ASTM E74 Simplified and Calculating CMC using the ASTM E74 standard. We also have a slide share presentation detailing the […]
Load Cell Measurement Errors: Can a Load Cell Adapter Plate or Block be Interchanged Without Introducing Additional Errors? Load cell measurement errors - Hardness of the top block used for calibration can result in errors as high as 0.5 % of applied force. We have seen large errors from customers switching out top blocks or […]
