Load Cell Specifications Explained Figure 1 Example of a Typical Morehouse Load Cell Specifications Sheet Load cells are precision devices used to measure force or weight, and their performance is defined by various specifications. The purpose of this article is to explain the typical load cell specifications sheet. Let's break down the key parameters […]
How do I choose a Load Cell System? 4 Steps for Choosing the Right Load Cell Calibration System. In metrology, force and torque measurements are vital across multiple industries, from aerospace to automotive to healthcare. Achieving accurate measurements often depends on the careful selection of the full load cell calibration system. Load cells, the core […]
What is Static Error Band (SEB)? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called static Error Band. The term itself can be used to describe one of many accuracy specifications found on a load cell specification sheet. This particular article hopes to explain what the term Static Error Band is. Load Cell Accuracy: […]
What is Non Linearity? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called static Non-Linearity. This particular article hopes to explain what the term Non Linearity is. Load Cell Accuracy: Simple Definition of Non Linearity In simplistic terms Non Lineratiry tells us how much a load cell's readings might not follow a straight line […]
What is Hysteresis? Almost any load cell specification sheet has a term called Hysteresis. This particular article hopes to explain what the term load cell hysteresis is. Load Cell Accuracy: Simple Definition In a simplistic sense, hysteresis is a way to measure how well a load cell returns to its starting point when force is […]
Force, Mass, and Weight: What is the Difference? Force, mass, and weight are related concepts in physics, yet they are distinct and often misunderstood. Introduction to Difference Between Force, Mass, and Weight Figure 1. NBS Document Regarding Force Calibration Services I recently read an old NBS unpublished Provisional Document of "The Force Calibration Service" […]
Morehouse Budget Load Cells With accuracies better than 0.02 % of full scale, Morehouse Budget Load Cells are the choice for field measurement capacities 500-112,000 lbf following ASTM E4 and ISO 7500 and for calibration laboratories that want to do more with less budget. Morehouse Budget Load Cells feature the following: ASTM E74 performance: Lower […]
Brinell Hardness Testing Brinell hardness testing is likely the oldest method of hardness testing commonly used today and is used to determine the hardness of castings and forgings with a coarse grain structure. The Brinell test itself is an indentation test where a known indenter, for a Brinell test, is a 10 mm ball applied […]
Rockwell Hardness Testing: Rockwell hardness methods are defined in ISO 6508 & ASTM E18. They are probably the most commonly used method to determine a material’s hardness since it is suitable for almost all metals and, to some extent, plastics. Rockwell test measures the permanent depth of indentation produced by a specified force/load on a […]
