ASTM E74 Load Cell Selection Guide: Need to know what 0.005 % and 0.01 % of full scale means when calibrating to a specified standard such as ASTM E74? This spreadsheet breaks these numbers down into a % of reading at various force points throughout the calibration range. The ASTM E74 load cell selection guide […]
2 Facts About How a Force Transducer Measures Force #1 What is a Transducer? In the broad sense of the term, a transducer is a device that turns one type of energy into another type. Some examples are: What is a transducer, battery example A battery is a transducer that converts chemical energy into electrical […]
Morehouse High Capacity Load Cells (Multi-Column Type) Morehouse High Capacity Load Cells (Multi-Column Type) are suitable for companies that make field measurements in accordance with ASTM E4 and ISO 7500 as reference standards where portability is preferred. These strain gauge-based cells offer less creep and better zero returns than single-column load cells. Their lower uncertainties […]
Measurement Bias: What can happen when we use an accuracy specification and assume all the measurements are centered to the specification limits? Not correcting for Measurement Bias is a typical problem in the metrology community, where many papers assume a centered process or Measurement and that any known Measurement Bias has been corrected. The Morehouse […]
Why is Force Important? Force measurement is performed so frequently that we take it for granted. Almost every material item is tested using some form of traceable force measurement. For example, the packaging on most materials, including soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, and processed foods, is checked for tensile, peel, compressive, and tear strength to ensure the […]
Tension and Compression Load Cells Morehouse Single-Column Tension and Compression Load Cells are available in capacities up from 300,000 lbf (1 335 kN) to 2,250,000 lbf (10 MN) in compression and from 300,000 lbf (1 335 kN) to 1,000,000 lbf (4 450 kN) in tension mode. If you require other capacities, please visit our Custom […]
