The Importance of Torque Control At the beginning of the year, we discussed the proper way to express torque units. This blog is going to discuss the importance of torque control. Torque = Force x Length this means the expression of lbf in or N m is the correct way to express torque. Those manufacturers […]
Load Cell Creep The band Radiohead has a song called "Creep", it’s a good song. Really good, it’s true. This blog post relates nothing to that song. In our world of load cells, there are three definitions relating to load cell creep. We typically discuss two of them in our force workshops; hence you will […]
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! Almost everyone has had problems related to bad measurement practices—some of which have resulted in serious devastation. 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 […]
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 […]
The proper way to express torque units is lbf·ft or N·m Morehouse will always make an effort to educate the masses on the proper way to express torque units. Looking at several scopes, manufacturer's specification sheets, and other sources, as a metrology community, we do not always express units of torque properly. Torque = Force […]

This document is intended to help properly specify what you may need for ISO/IEC 17025 accredited ASTM E74 calibrations to ensure you are getting exactly what you need: Verification of the Calibration Supplier Can meet the Requirement. Reviewing many accredited laboratory […]
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 […]
